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.
