I have a sequential list of subdocument filenames in an excel file. Can I use mailmerge and insert all the subdocuments sequentially in a main document? I am very new at this. Please help!!

Use a Directory (or in earlier versions of Word, a Catalog) type mailmerge
main document with the mergefield containing the filenames nested inside an
{ INCLUDETEXT } field. Note that the separators "\" in the path to the
document need to be duplicated. For example, the mergefield must return
something like

"c:\\My Documents\\My First Document.doc"

Signature

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
