strong textI have about 50 pages as individual documents. Can I connect these pages to make a single multipage document ?
Of course you can, it’s a lot of work, though. There are several ways to do it, but you have to start with a new, blank document. From there, you can either use Insert - Text from file to insert the files one by one, or open the files one by one and copy+paste their content into your new document.

Many thanks Floris. I just thought there might be a short cut !!

A macro might do it, but writing and debugging the macro might take more time than doing this by hand.
Yes, you’re probably right !
You can create a master document into which you “insert” your existing files as sub-documents. I wrote “insert” (with quotes) because you work with the Navigator in Master View. If you never worked with master+subs, I highly recommend you read the Writer Guide.
There is however a catch. The result will be acceptable only if your existing documents have a consistent formatting. This usually means they all use the same styles with the same semantics. Expect difficulties if there are discrepancies between documents. You’ll probably meet those when it comes to page headers and footers due to the lack of well planned and crafted page styles.
