Merge Documents: Combine Multiple Word Documents into One File

✔ Save Time and Reduce Manual Work

Without this feature, you may need to open each document, copy the content, paste it into another document, and then adjust the formatting manually. The Merge Documents feature simplifies this process and helps you complete the task much faster.

✔ Merge Files in Bulk

You can add multiple files, an entire folder, or even folders with subfolders. This is especially useful when you need to merge a large number of Word documents.

✔ Keep the Document Order Organized

You can arrange documents before merging. This helps you create a final document with a logical structure, such as chapters, sections, reports, or project files.

✔ Flexible Document Separation

You can choose whether to merge documents continuously, start each document on a new page, or separate them with section breaks. This flexibility makes the feature suitable for different document types and formatting needs.

✔ Easy Source Tracking

By inserting the full file path before each document, you can easily check where each part of the merged content comes from. This is useful for reviewing, auditing, or organizing merged files.

1) Click Add Files, Add Folder, or Add Folder (Including Subfolders) to add the documents you want to merge.

• Click Add Files to select specific Word documents.
• Click Add Folder to add documents from one folder.
• Click Add Folder (Including Subfolders) to add documents from a folder and all its subfolders.

2) In the Between Documents section, open the Insert between documents drop-down list and choose how to separate each document.

• Choose No break if you want all content to continue directly.
• Choose Page break if each document should start on a new page.
• Choose Section break if the documents have different page settings.

Tip: Check Do not insert paragraph breaks between merged documents if you want to avoid extra blank paragraphs.

3) Select Insert the full path before each document if you want to show the source file path before each document’s content; otherwise, leave it unchecked.

4) Click Merge to combine the selected documents into the current Word document.

Arrange the Merge File Order

The order of documents in the list determines the order in the final merged document. You can use the move buttons to adjust the sequence of selected files.

• Move a document to the top.
• Move a document up.
• Move a document down.
• Move a document to the bottom.
• Tip: You can also drag an item in the list box to change its position.

Delete selected file or clear all files in the file list
