Step 3: Work simultaneously on the document Simul has its own comparison algorithm that shows you exactly what each person changed, even if Track Changes wasn’t turned on. Step 3: See what changed, even if Track Changes wasn’t on No need for crazy filenames like ‘Contract_V12_FINAL’ and/or emailing documents back and forth between collaborators. When they click ‘Save’ a new version is automatically created in Simul and collaborators are notified. When they click the ‘Open in Word’ button it opens the selected version in Word on their computer and they can simply make changes like they normally would. Step 2: Collaborators open and edit the documentĬollaborators can access the latest version of a document in Word or Word Online in just 1 click. Instead of emailing documents around, you simply upload it to your Simul account and invite people to collaborate on it with you. Here’s how it works: Step 1: Upload & Invite This is where purpose-built version control and collaboration tools like Simul Docs really shine. What about merging them – combining them, paragraph for paragraph and picking up on the tracked changes between the two? Manually merging your documents by copy-and-paste is tedious, while Microsoft’s insert object tool only allows you to stick one document onto the bottom of another.

Leaving you with multiple versions of the same document and no way to easily merge them together. The most common reason we need to merge multiple Microsoft Word Documents is that you are collaborating on a file with your team and two or more team members made edits at the same time. Looking for an easier way to collaborate and merge Word Documents? Giving it a new file name so that it is easily identified in your shared drive. Once you have merged all of your files into the Master Document be sure to save it as a new version. If you are trying to merge them in a certain sequence either select them manually or sort the files by file name, for example, Document 1, Document 2, Document 3 so they merge in the desired order. The first file selected will appear at the top when merged, followed by each subsequent document. The files will merge in the order they are selected.
