    How to merge or combine multiple files

    Updated: 11/13/2018 by Computer Hope

    If you would like to merge multiple Word, Excel or text files together, it can be done with relative ease and at no extra cost. Follow the steps below for the type of file you’re trying to merge.

    Tip: For many users, it is easier to copy and paste the contents of multiple files into a new file as a form of merging or combining files.

    Merging Microsoft Word documents

    To merge Word documents, you can merge those documents within Microsoft Word itself. To do this, open the first file in Microsoft Word, and follow the steps for your version of Word. The steps are different because of the changes between the file menu and the Office ribbon.

    Microsoft Word 2007 or later (ribbon)

    In the Word ribbon, click the Insert tab, click the down arrow next to Object, and select the Text from File option, as shown below.

    Word 2010 file merge

    Select the file you want to merge into the current document and click Insert. Once completed, the text and other information from the document will be merged into the current document. These steps can be completed as many times as you want if you want to merge multiple files.

    Tip: If there are multiple files you want to merge at the same time, you can select multiple files by holding down the Ctrl key and selecting each file you want to merge.

    Microsoft Word 2003 or earlier (file menu)

    In Word, click on Tools in the top menu and select the Compare and Merge Documents option, as shown below.

    Merge Microsoft Word document

    Find the document you want to merge. You have the option of merging the selected document into the currently open document or merging the two documents into a new document. To choose the merge option, click the arrow next to the Merge button and select the desired merge option. The files will then be merged.

    Compare and Merge files

    Tip: If there are multiple files you want to merge at once, you can select multiple files by holding down the Ctrl key and selecting each file you want to merge.

    Merging Microsoft Excel files

    To merge Microsoft Excel files together, it is best to save them as CSV files first. Open the Excel files and in the menu bar, click File, then Save As. In the Save as type drop-down list, select CSV (comma delimited) (*.csv) from the list.

    Do this for each Excel file you want to merge, then place all the CSV files in the same folder. For ease, place them in a folder in the root of the C: drive (e.g., c:\csvfiles).

    Open the Windows command prompt and navigate to the folder containing the CSV files. Type dir to view the files in the folder and ensure all the files are there.

    Type in the following command to merge all CSV files in the folder into a new CSV file titled “newfile.csv” (any name could be used).

    copy *.csv newfile.csv

    After the new file has been created, open the new CSV file in Microsoft Excel and save it as an Excel file.

    Merge a text (.txt) file in the Windows command line

    Place each of the text files you want to merge in the same folder. For ease, place them in a folder in the root of the C: drive (e.g., c:\textfiles) and make sure the folder only contains text files you want to merge.

    Tip: Before merging text files, you may want to make sure there is a blank line or at least one carriage return (pressing the Enter key) to help separate each file.

    Open the Windows command prompt and navigate to the folder containing the text files. Type dir to view the files in the folder and ensure all the files are there.

    Type in the following command to merge all TXT files in the current directory into the file named newfile.txt (any name could be used).

    copy *.txt newfile.txt

    Now you can open the text file and see everything merged together as one file.

    Merge a file in the Linux command line

    Linux users can merge two or more files into one file using the merge command or lines of files using the paste command.

    Merge PDF files

    PDF

    PDF documents can also be merged. You can use a full version of Adobe Acrobat to do this, but this program is a bit pricy (several hundred dollars).

    Another option is to find a free utility on the Internet to merge your PDF files. One of the better free utilities is PDF Split and Merge. It is an online tool that lets you merge two or more PDF files into one PDF file with a few clicks of your mouse button. You can also download and install a version of the Batch PDF Merger program, which costs about $30.

    There are other free utilities online that offer this service. However, if there is any confidential information contained in the PDF files, use caution when merging them online. It is recommended that you use a utility on your computer for these types of PDF file mergers, to ensure the confidential data is kept confidential.

    • MergePDF – Online utility to merge PDF files up to 30 MB.
    • PDFMerge – Another great free utility to merge PDF documents.
    • Sej-da – An additional utility to merge PDF files up to 50 MB.

  • SONY PLAYSTATION BLUETOOTH HEADSET – CECHYA-0076

    So … I got a bluetooth headset that was damaged – the earphone wires were pulled out – so got them soldered back and all was good – however I couldn’t get the device in paired mode. The version I had was the version 1.0 version. This solved my problem.

    Step 1:
    Turn the device off – hold the power button for about 5 seconds until the blue ring light stops flashing … wait a while.

    Step 2:
    Hold the power button down for about 10 seconds – the ring light will flash red – device is now in discoverable mode.

    Step 3:
    On your mobile device (iPhone) for me – Settings > Bluetooth > Search – it should pickup Headset. Click on pair

    Step 4:
    The passkey code is ‘0000’ thats zero, zero, zero, zero – paired and you’re done.

    The manual can be downloaded from here
