>* Is there a better way to do this merge files?

in the 'document' dialog you can specify the 'next file', and
thus string along all of your large documents.  By doing
this you can print the composite document all at once, but
the 'sections' remain as seperate files.  When you do this
each document will begin on a new page, but you can make the
pages be numbered sequentially by setting the 'begining' page
number to zero for all but the first document.

to select any large region click at the begining, use the scroll
bar to get to the end, and shift-click.  I am sure if you 
read the manual there is a key comand to 'select all' as well.
