Hello all - would like a bit of practical help if possible. Here is the situation. I currently have eight Word files which are all chapters of my thesis and I need to make them into one long file. I am also using Mendeley to do automatic referencing. How do I make one long file? Cut and paste into a new document? What can possibly go wrong!!? Also did you print out your whole thesis and correct it on the paper version? I can't seem to really spot mistakes reading on the screen (sorry trees).
Yep, just cut and paste into the one file. Surprisingly ok! I used Mendeley too - it just knows whether the references are different or the same so there are no issues there.
I always print out and read - I also find mistakes more easily that way.
HazyJane is correct - all my formatting and headings were the same on every document, including the one I was pasting into which is probably why I didn't have any problems with this.
