Merge Reports

How do I merge two or more reports?

There are a few noteworthy items before you start the merging process.

- Ensure that the separate reports are complete prior to the merge.
- No special page numbering is necessary, however, confirm that the pages to be omitted from either the table of contents and/or page numbering have been checkboxed accordingly in the Page Properties dialog box.
- If edits are needed or mistakes are found after a merge, delete the merged portions of the report, make changes to the original report files, then redo the merge.

The first part of merging two or more ClickFORMS reports is to start with the report file that comprises part one of the merged report. For example, open the file for the "Before" of a Before and After report.

Click on the Document tab on the ribbon and click Merge Files.

A directory window opens to allow you to browse for the report you want to merge with the first report. Select the report you want and click ‘Open’.

The merged pages will transfer in immediately following the last page of the existing report.

To merge more sections, repeat the steps above, starting with "Merge Files..." until you are finished adding the additional reports. Make sure to save your file with a different name so that you recognize this as the 'final' version of the multi-section appraisal.

* Again, if you discover an error in one of the forms, restart the merging process after making corrections in the original report files.
