I have a system that I am working on that successfully selects and
merges multiple documents to form one document at the printer, what
I'd like to do is have them combined into one document at the instance
of merging into a new document. The program identifies the correct
documents in a looping structure and either merges them to the
printer, or merges them to a new document and I'd like to be able to
merge them to a single instance, and not multiple instances of word.

I hope I've asked this question in a coherent way, any help or tips
appreciated.

okay, I've found subdocuments and see that they may be what I'm
looking for. Any thoughts?

Hi John,

If all you're going to do is pull them together, print,
then discard the "merged document" you may be all right.

The Master/Sub-document feature was designed to do exactly
this, but it has a tendency to become unstable as soon as
anyone tries to edit using the "merged document".

You'll find some discussions on word.mvps.org that might be
relevant.

Thanks Cindy, your help is greatly appreciated. I am familiar with the
MVPS websites, but was accessing them from a user perspective.
