While you may be familiar with Microsoft Word for typing documents, the word processing program is also useful when you want to combine documents from multiple sources. A Word document, for example, may hold text, facts and figures, but also call for information already published and present in a portable document format file, or PDF. Instead of sending two separate documents, combine the two into one single Word document for easy access and as a way to better keep track of your pages.
