Description maou70 2016-01-15 10:53:17 UTC
Hello !

When inserting Documents, it is necessary to be able to insert several documents at once. I use it almost every day, and doing the same manipulation 10 or 11 times really is a waste of time.

Thank you :)

I don't know if this would be implemented. 

I supose there should be created a macro for opening 10 documents at a time.

I can't even imagine a buton with "Open 10 documents at a time" or "Enter here how many documents do you want to create at once".

Probably Insert > Text from File... (renamed recently) allowing multi-selection. Dealing with many external sources sounds rather like working with Master Documents to me. Please reopen if you disagree with more details about the use case.

Yes Heiko, I was talking about this function in Microsoft Word :
Insert -> Text from file -> multiselection.
I use it almost every day to concatenate multiple documents at once.

Please give Master Document a try.

Hello !
I just tried Insertion -> Texte à partir d'un fichier, and multiselection isn't possible...
