Quote:ou have multiple options if you have multiple Microsoft Word documents and want to merge them.
While you could use copy and paste multiple times to create a new document using the content of all Word documents that you want to merge, you could also use built-in functionality instead for an easier approach.
The following guide is based on Word 2016. Note that you can use the functionality to create a Word document using non-Word file types such as txt, odt, xml, pdf, or html, and even mix and match.
Create a new Word document to get started. I suggest you start with a blank document but you can theoretically use the first document that you want to merge with others as well. If you do so, make sure you back it up so that you can restore it should things go wrong along the way.
With the document open in Word 2016, switch to the Insert tab in the program. Word's ribbon toolbar does not display text labels next to all icons which may make identification of the right icon difficult depending on the window size.
