in the same folder

Thank you,

Hi Samuel:

There are several ways to do this.  I really would like to know a bit more
about what "else" you intend to do with the documents before giving you an
answer.

If the total page count is less that 3,000, I would be tempted to use
Insert>File to create them all as a long single document.

For a very large number of files, I would create a shell document, set up
the page numbering the way I wanted it, then fill it with INCLUDETEXT fields
to bring the other documents in.  The reason I would choose this method is
that you can make INCLUDETEXT fields from a directory listing using
Find/Replace and a simple macro.

If all you want to do is "Print" the documents, you could use a Master
Document to do this.  But Master Documents require a very great deal of
knowledge and care to make them reliable: best avoided unless you are
prepared to put a lot of time into understanding the internal structure of
Word documents.  I tend to believe that by the time you have learned enough
to use Master Documents reliably, you don't need them :-)

I also need to know which version of Word you are using and what operating
system, in order to answer properly.

Cheers
