Thanks Aashish, but I don't think that really answers my question. The changes to the Word documents in my question will be done in Word by our librarian and published into a certain directory. Multi-page documents are separated into separated docs for each page because of some limitation of OLE. The paths to those files are stored in our database. I need to select those files based on certain criteria and build a multi-page document (this is where Crystal comes in) from those Word docs.
