Joining Word file together

[Marc]

Support for my Adobe Acrobat XI has ended and with that it will not allow me to sign my PDF reports anymore.  The only upgrade is a $178 subscription.

Does anyone know how to join Word files together.  Word allows me to sign documents but I need to join the cover page to the rest of the report first.

Anyone?

Dunno which version of Word you are using, but here is a link for the MS Office 2016 release.

Others would be somewhat similar I'm sure.

If it's a MS rich text doc, there is a menu for attaching files, but can you not cut and paste?

The thing about copying and pasting is that the formats are different.  Formats don't carry, just the text.  The copy/pasted cover page gets mess up.

I've since found that my Docusign allows me to join documents and then sign them.  I'm going to try that out for awhile.

Thanks.

Sounds like you got it.

I had to learn to copy and paste everything when I bought a Vista machine years ago. Before that files were moved, same result.

In Windows documents, like Rich Text Documents, there is a menu, drop down box, with dozens of fonts. You highlight the text, then choose font from the list, easy to do.

If that does not work out, you may be able to add a section break at the beginning of your document and use the cover page format above the section break. That should retain you cover page format.

That did it.  I use section breaks a lot but never before between cover and body. Thanks.
