If it's just one page, then you can copy the page from the "other"
docuemtn and paste it into the "current" do***ent:
- open the "other" do***ent,
- use the Arrow tool and choose Select All from the Edit menu (if
you want to you can then choose Group from the Element menu, this will
make it easier to move them all in a later step)
- choose Copy from the Edit menu
- close the "other" do***ent
- open the "current" do***ent
- go to the last page of the do***ent
- choose Insert Pages from the Layout menu, and make sure
the window that appears is inserting 1 page after the
current page
- use the Arrow tool and choose Paste from the Edit menu,
then hold the mouse button down on any element, not the
element handles, to move them all into the correct
position.
Note: if you hold down the Option key on the Mac
(Control on Windows??) while choosing Paste, then the
elements will be pasted into the same position on the
page as they were copied from, although this may not
work if either of the do***ents use Facing Pages.
There may be an extra problem here if the "other" page uses elements on
the Master Pages. You will need to separately copy those elements from
the "other" Master Page and paste them onto the "current" do***ent's
normal page.
If it's multiple pages, then ask yourself if you REALLY need to have
them all in the same do***ent? If you only need the page numbering to
follow on consequetively, then you can simply set the start page number
of the "other" do***ent by going to Do***ent Setup in the File menu.
I can't remember if it's in PageMaker 6.5, but in PageMaker 7 (and
there's little difference between the two versions) there is also the
Book function in the Utilities menu. This allows you to have multiple
do***ents collated together as one virtual do***ent. Once set-up you
can then choose to print the entire "book" or just the current do***ent
from the Print window. (This is NOT the Build Booklet plug-in, which is
a different function.)
If you do need all the pages in one real do***ent, then you will have
to go through the above copy / paste procedure for EACH page (or each
set of Facing Pages), remembering the Master Page elements if
necessary. I don't know of any, but there might be an extra plug-in or
script that you can download that assists in "merging" do***ents, but
they will just automate the above process ... and some are
over-expensive.
