How to Combine Two Word Documents Into One to Be Sent As One File
Microsoft Word has the ability to combine multiple Word files into one, longer document to facilitate easy attachment of a single file to an email. Letters can be combined with presentations or instructional manuals. A resume can be attached to a cover letter, or a company brochure can be combined with a list of resources. The result is a single Word document that contains all the information that was contained in each of the source documents consolidated into one place.
