How to Combine Documents in Word | Keep or Merge Formats | Export to PDF | Link / Update Documents

In this video I want to combine multiple Microsoft Word documents into a single document. There's more than one way that I can do this. The method I use will depend on whether or not I want to preserve the original documents' format in the merged document.

I also need to decide whether I want to create links between the original documents and the merged document. If I establish a link, changes to the individual documents can be updated in the merged document with a simple click.

Finally I want to export the merged document to pdf.
