If I could use Indesign at work I would, but all that I can get my hands on 
is Publisher. They  have not loaded it yet. I have never worked with it, nor 
seen it. I am hoping that it will have the same option as Indesign or 
Quark.Xpress. I am putting a large manual together. I have many sections, all 
in separate files. I want to be able to, as in Indesign, select all of those 
separate files and create a book, be able to reorder, add, or delete files as 
I want to , and then use one command to print all of those separate files, in 
the order that I specified all at once. I am not looking to copy and paste 
into one document. 
Any help is appreciated, I have tried to search the net to no avail about 
the capabilities of Publisher regarding this topic. 
I appreciate any help!

MS Publisher cannot perform the tasks you describe.

There is the following method but I don't think
it is what you are looking for and also...if you
have files that were created in one of your other
apps...they wouldn't be compatible with Publisher
anyway.

I will try it, see what happens. These docs were made in Word. I assumed 
they would be compatible. Not sure if true.

What version Publisher are you going to use? There are many tutorials around.

InDesign is a $700 program, it is tough to compare features with a $150 
application.

You can import Word documents into Publisher.

Vote for McCain, and get any DTP application for $3.99!

Mary , Your statement is totally true and I agree with it. I have a design 
background although now I am working for a company in a different capacity. 
So,  I could never ask them to spend that kind of money on a program that 
only I would know how to use.  So, I've got to work with what we've got.   I 
have no idea what version they have , but I will look through the tutorials 
once I get it . Thanks! Carolina

======================================
I thought you were indicating that your current
files were created with  Indesign or Quark.Xpress.
Have a look at the following articles:
