Problem merging 2 Word docments into one

Top posting is not discouraged (certainly not by me) in these NGs. I much
prefer it despite the many quite sensible arguments against it.

Apologies for top-posting, but thank you *so* much for
that little tid-bit about Word feature. I'll check it out
and hopefully, make it work.

Thanks again, Suzanne.

Yes, Word is pretty literal-minded about endnotes. There
is, however, a way
to put them elsewhere than at the end. In Word versions
back to Word 6.0
there has been a largely undocumented (and unadvertised)
check box on the
Layout tab of Page Setup for "Suppress endnotes." The way
this works is that
you tell Word to put your endnotes at the end of the
section instead of at
the end of the document. Then you go through the document
section by section
and check the "Suppress endnotes" box for every section
up to the one where
you want all the endnotes to be collected.

Entirely unobvious and, as I say, undocumented except for
a couple of KB
articles about the setting being unavailable
(because "End of section" was
not selected).

Hi Suzanne,

The URL you mentioned was very helpful, but even after
following the directions, I still could not get the
appendix document to go after the end-notes/reference of
the first document, and it makes me think that maybe it
is
by design that the end-notes - as the name denotes - do
go
at the end of the document

If you can figure out a way where the appendix can be
inserted into a document after the end-notes, please let
me know.

Thanks for your help.

-Amit

Hi,

I'm having a tough time trying to combine/merge two
documents into one.

The first document has lots of formatting, with 2
columns
and end-notes. The second document is a simple one
with
glossary.

What I'm trying to do is to have one document with
the
glossary at the end, after the end-notes.

I've tried
1. copy-and-pasting the "glossary" document in the
first
one,
2. inserting "glossary" file into the first one

In both cases, the formatting of "glossary" document
gets
screwed up, with different font and colors appearing.
Also, the document gets inserted before the end-
notes.

I've also tried to insert a section break (next
page),
but
the feature is greyed out on the menu.

I'm not an expert on Word formatting, so any help to
fix
this will be much appreciated.

Thanks much!

-Amit
