You choices include:
1. Copy & paste. 2. Open the first, go to the end, use Insert File, insert the second, lather-rinse-repeat. 3. Create a new document, insert ten {IncludeText} field codes with the names of the 10 files. Use double slashes instead of slashes for specifying the location, e.g., { INCLUDETEXT "C:\\Users\\Herb\\Documents\\FileOne.doc" }. Press Ctrl+A, F9, then Ctrl+Shift+F9 to select, update, and convert them into actual text. Then use the table sort command (which isn't just for tables) to sort them. The exact location of the Insert File and Sort commands depends upon which version of Word you're using.

....except that the extension will be .dotx, rather than .doc. Although, I
wonder why you have these files contained in template files rather than regular documents. However, .dotx suggests that you're using Word 2007, so for Insert File, in the Insert tab, click Object - Text from Tile. The Sort command is located in the Paragraph group in the Home tab, just to the right of the Increase Indent tool. For the field code approach, I would suggest that you insert the first one using the Insert - Object - Text from File - Insert as Link method. Then, press Alt+F9 to show the field codes. Copy the first field code and replicate it nine times, and then edit to provide the names for files 2 through 10. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ...

1. Open the first file--let's call this the combined file.
2. Choose File - Save As, and give it a new name so you don't disturb the first file. 3. Press Ctrl+End to go to the end of the combined file. 4. Open the second file. Press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C to select it and copy it to the clipboard. Press Ctrl+F4 to close this file. (Depending on the size of the files, you might be prompted asking if you want to retain the clipboard--if so, say Yes.) 5. Display the combined file, and press Ctrl+V to paste the contents of the clipboard. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other 8 files. If you had dozens of files to combine, one of the other methods would certainly be more efficient. Since it's only 10, it's faster using the copy/paste brute force method, IMO.

herb I wish to express my gratitude for your patience in this matter
I have successfully combined the documents per your instructions with the cut and paste method, I did a test of just two .dotx files to see the outcome, and they indeed are joined but when I sorted the address column alphabetically the result was ok as to the alphabetical part but the lines of the columns come out distorted and jagged not the horizontal lines just the vertical lines formiing the columns of the table. any thoughts why? frank mede "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: 1.

My guess is that the original tables were not the same dimensions (different
column widths). Select the whole table (i.e., after the 10 have been merged), move the mouse pointer so it's exactly over any vertical cell wall, and double-click. Here, that forces the merged tables to assume identical column widths for all cells.
