An AppleScript to combine Word documents
BBEdit is my word processor of choice (as opposed to a word FORMATTER like Word) It is really a TEXT processor, and I could probably easily say over 99% of my text documents are as Text rather than Word documents.

Doesn't work for me - apparently the aliases for the two documents don't understand the <<event daVSnoOI>> message!

One more note of pedantry to wrycooter: The word you want for concatenating is not clobber, which means to hit hard (or in the Unix environment, to overwrite a file), but cobble.
Back on the topic, I also keep many files in plain text, especially now with TextWrangler's full Unicode support. For actual text formatting (without too much advanced layout), for me STILL nothing beats Word 5.1 (from 1992!) I actually still use it in Classic just to continue to keep all my invoices in the same old file. But in the last few years I have become much more friendly with TextEdit (and RTF code itself) for new documents.

I think the rationale behind Word 6 for Mac was an attempt on side of MS to bring the code bases of the Windows and Mac version on par. This wholeheartedly 'altruistic' move would probably also save them some work later on, so they thought. What they created was a horrible monster, extremely unstable..
