Combining Word documents, particularly documents from outside sources, is ALWAYS a big problem for Word. Basically, Word takes the formatting from each outside source and COMBINES it all into your document, causing stylesheet problems, problems between sections, and all sorts or other goodness.

One thing you can consider is, if you are copying the contents of one document into your "master" document, is to use the Paste Special command in the Edit menu and select "Unformatted Text". That will drop the new content into your current document with NO formatting, and you can apply your own stylesheet or other formatting options manually.
