Create a document that contains your title page, copyright page, and any
other front matter, including a TOC field. Follow all that with a series
of RD fields, each of which refers to one of your chapter docs. Follow
those with an index field.
It should look something like this:
My Great Document
--------section break--------
Copyright blah blah blah
--------section break--------
Contents
{TOC \h \o \* MERGEFORMAT }
--------section break--------
{ RD "chapter01.doc" }
--------section break--------
{ RD "chapter02.doc" }
--------section break--------
...
--------section break--------
{ RD "chapter19.doc" }
--------section break--------
{INDEX \c 2 \h "A" \* MERGEFORMAT }
Now just select all (Ctrl+A) and update fields (F9).
Sure, you may have to experiment to get the results you want with headers,
footers, and page numbers throughout, but it's really not that hard.
There's been a ton of info about this posted to Techwr-L over the years.
