I keep the lyric of my songs on individual Word type files (using Open
Office). But I have often a need to take several of them and print
them to make a booklet. Copy-paste is somewhat tedious. Anybody knows
a way, maybe using some freeware, to combine the files in a desired
seqiuence and a single document to be able to print it recto verso and
with pages numbers.

Thanks

TreePad (text) and Keynote (rich text) can combine and/or rearrange
files. Import the files, sort the nodes (each node will have one file)
into the desired order and export them as a single file.

TreeDBNotes can import/export Word files. It *might* work for what you
want to do - I haven't used it so no guarantee.
