word It is one of the most widely used programs worldwide, and not only because of its office nature, but because it is used in all kinds of areas. Thus, whether it is in a large company, in education or at home, this is an application that is often present. Of course, the Microsoft program has many other competitors.
Well, the program itself presents us with a built-in function that allows us to merge several documents of in a single file. This is something that will be very useful to us in a multitude of circumstances, as some of you have already verified.
Word allows you to insert a good number of elements into documents
And it is that in these times and due to its widespread use, this is a program with which we generate a good amount of independent files. We usually store these depending on their date, type of use, or who they were intended for, for example. But sometimes we get together with a huge amount of this content, which can be somewhat cumbersome.
Therefore, and in a matter of seconds, from Microsoft’s own word processor, we have the opportunity to gather all the documents we want, into one. In fact, we found a function that will help us in all of this. We have already told you on several occasions that this is a program that, although it focuses on working with texts, also allows us to insert other types of more complex elements.
Here images come into play, videosshapes, graphics, boards, etc. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that we will also have the opportunity to integrate other documents in the same original. Thus, in the event that we work with several files of word simultaneously and we need to merge them into a final document, let’s see how. This is something that can also help us to organize the documentation of a company, or on a personal level, for example.
Merge Word documents into a single larger one
As we told you, this is something that is going to be more useful than it seems, for example when organizing those text files, or to combine jobs. Thus, for all this, the first thing we recommend is to have all the documents in a single location, so everything will be easier and faster. In this way, once we have started the program as such, the first thing we do is open the document where we are going to gather the rest.
It does not matter if it already has text, or not, since the process that we have to carry out is the same. Therefore, once the file is open, we must place ourselves in the position in which we want to start integrating the new files to be added, for example at the end of the original. Thus, once in the desired position, we have to go to the menu option Insertand then look for the option Objectlocated on the right side of the interface.
In the drop-down list that will appear below, we must choose the option Insert text from file, where we will already have the possibility of choosing the Word file or files that will become part of the originalautomatically.
Insert multiple documents simultaneously
In the event that what we need in this case is to add more than one word document to the one we are editing at that moment, it is very easy. To do this we have to follow the same steps that we have described above, that is, we also go to the Insert menu. Next we select again the mindo button mentioned before, the one called Object / Insert text from file.
However, the difference in this case is that, aided by the Ctrl key, which we keep pressed, we can select all the Docs we want. Precisely for this reason we told you at the beginning that it was advisable to have all the files in the same location.
