Adding one document to another
Hi Jerry,
Well, you really do have a lot of options. Having all the files in single
directory is great (have a look at the article " Insert into a document the
names of all files in a selected folder" at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InsertFileNames.htm)
Having them select the order is a quite bit more difficult, and I suggest
that you avoid that option if you can.
