  1. I'd like to create a document library with chapters, but then have the option to merge or at least print all of the documents without having to print each one individually. Word has a merge feature, but is there anything in SharePoint that will let me do this?

  2. Not out of the box. You could however programatically access the documents with lists.asmx from a client machine and then use the Word object model (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kw65a0we(VS.80).aspx) to assemble the documents together programatically into one document. Not a 5 minute task, but it is do-able.

  3. Yes, this is just a Word feature, but you can still keep all of the documents in a document library. Here's how the merge works:

  4. Yes, you can dynamically combine documents in a SharePoint library using Word. I'll put a screencast up, since it is a very cool solution. Watch the main site. -- Mark
