So I've started to pitch / fundraise a documentary idea to a lot of the different networks lately and this weekend had a huge hit. Met a few folks t a few networks over the weekend and today they've e-mailed me asking to send copies to a bunch of people and said digitially is fine.

My problem here is that I've made the packets from 3 different word documents printed out all sorts of pretty at Kinkos, and when trying to combine these down into 1 document I'm having all sorts of formatting problems. The bulk of the document is Arial 10 point font with 1" margins all around. However I also included my resume (the tinyest margins printable)and the course syllabus (Times 12 pt font with 1" margins but it has header and footer and page notes). I have no idea how to merge these all together in 1 file with all of the different formatting issues. Is there a way in Word? Or do I need to just scan the whole damn thing and make it all jpegs or something?

I'm thinking maybe making a pdf would work too, but I just don't know - do you?

Here are the files:

http://www.chadhorn.net/resume.doc

Oh yeah, and if you're gonna steal the idea PLEASE make a lot of money with it. Registered it with the Writers Guild of America a few days ago and if I'm gonna go through the trouble of sueing someone would like to make a few bucks doing it :)

PDF is probably the way to go, if you want to be sure that documents will appear exactly the same for everyone.

But you can do it within word too, if you make section breaks. Dont know the exact english menu names, but it should be something like Insert / Breakpoint / Section - then a window appears if the new section should be continous, next page etc.

The new section can have his own margins, paper layout, you can even go landscape if you need instead of portrait. Then you insert at the bottommost page of 2nd section another section break, and start your third section with the 3rd format you wish.

Sorry if the menunames are not correct, I am used to the Hungarian version :)
