this works fine, but 2 caveats:
* you might have to insert links between the multiple files manually. i'm not sure what pdf would do with cross-file links (actually, I'm not even sure if you can make them in Word)

* keep an eye on your page numbers. Each word file might start at page 1, so then adding the pdf files together would give you several page 1's in a single pdf doc.
