" Insert" tab allows you to subtly merge documents. With edits from Microsoft's help article: Always begin with a new file then, to be safe! I advise starting with a blank new document so that you can retain the integrity of your original files.You will need to check the new file you have created to be sure formats are consistent. Formatting is normally retained when merging but the documents themselves may have had different formats to begin with.It will place them in the order that you indicate when you merge, be sure to note your order- of course, you can always move the content after. Word, as explain below, can insert multiple documents together at a time but does not know intuitively in what order you want them placed.Note: you can make multiple new folders they will appear as 'New Folder (2)', 'New Folder (3)'and so on. If you are viewing the items by name, you may have to scroll down to the 'N' section to see the new folder. Word will merge the contents where you place your mouse cursor, so position first where you want the document or documents to be merged together- of course, you can always move the content after. After you make a new folder, it will appear as 'New Folder' as in the picture below.The process does has a few limitations so keep these in mind: (Continued editing is the chief advantage of this process.) Yes, yes you can! This process, also called "stitching," is great if you want to take multiple word documents and make them one so you can continue to edit the document as one.
