I have a number of documents in Word 97. They are all one page documents.
How can I combine them so that I end up with a single large document of
multiple pages.
I imagine that copy and paste would get it done, but is there a more elegant
way of doing this?

Depends on what you need and how the documents are formatted. You can edit /
paste special the 3 docs objects into a 4th Word document. Changing doc 1
modifies the pasted object in doc 4 through OLE (object linking and
embedding) dynamically.

You can also rely on copy or append depending on the operating system
involved, but this won't succeed for a document using native word formatted
documents. It would work for ASCII text formatted documents.
prompt> copy doc1.txt + doc2.txt = doc3.txt

as i recall, at any point in a document you can click on Insert, File, and
choose your next word file.
i think that way you'll retain a decent level of formatting. copy/paste can
be a bit messy in the formatting department.
