How to repeat header of paragraph using mail merge - ms-word

I am using MS Word to create template for PDF file.
Here is my file structure:
Now I expect all headings (i.e attendance key details, units, semaphores, sanction - big bold texts) are repeated across pages. But I have no idea how to do that. Does anyone know?

Insert a word document into another word document without losing formatting

I am working on my portfolio for grad school and I am having an issue with inserting a word document into another and keeping the original formatting of both. I built the main document so that all I would need to do is insert my supporting documentation which has to be of a different format. I tried next page section breaks and it generates the next page but all the formatting is still tied to the main document. Thanks in advance.
Just make a regular copy and paste. Control+C on source and Control+V on destiny. Best.

merge new document with several existing pdfs

I should create a new pdf , for example a offer. At the end of the new pdf i have to import several existing pdfs, these pdf has form fields and i must fill up this fields.
One problem is that the different existing PDF has all the same form fields e.g txtNAME.
Is there a possibility to add existing PDF in a open document and fill up formfields directly?
Thank for help or ideas
Just keep in mind that fields with the same name will have the same value.
This can be a boon (if you did some thinking ahead when you planned the forms), but it also can be a hindrance.
One possibility you may have, if the number different additional pages is not too high: You might prepare a "master form", which contains the subsequent pages as hidden Templates, and then when you create your document, you will spawn the according pages with the option to make unique field names.

Repeat a template in Jasper conditionally

I have a requirement where I am arranging a large number of responses(text) in form of predefined templates. Depending on the text size, the boxes are allotted to the response. There are three sizes for the boxes. These boxes are then arranged in to defined 10-15 templates.
Since I do not have rights to post image, I am unable to show them here. Hope the idea is conveyed.
I would be displaying the responses in the best matched template. so the final page would be like 5 instances of Template1 followed by two instances of Template3 etc.
Is there any way I can achieve the same in Jasper reports or may be some other tool by which the same can be done to export this to PDF format.

Adding pdf file to existing pdf collection using iTextSharp

I have 4-5 PDFs have that could have 2-3 pages each. I then merge all the pdf together using iTextSharp. So it looks like 1122233444555 (each set of # represents a pdf. The duplicating represents the pages) The whole set is the new PDF.
We have a requirement where after the pdfs have merged, we may need to insert another PDF (2 pages) in between 2 & 3. How would I go about inserting after the last page of 2 and before the first page of 3? So it should now look like 1122266633444555.
We are not storing the # of pages so I don't want to rely on passing in the page numbers. Can I write some hidden file names in each page and use itextsharp to read the hidden information? Then I can say add pdf 666 after the last page of 222.
One way to do this is by marking page 2 for post-processing using a PdfPageLabels object. Some sample code. See the links in the first paragraph of the link to the sample code for another way to do this by adding hidden fields to the document.

Unique ID for MS Word 2007 paragraph

I am writing large MS Word 2007 documents, which are often being changed. I have to number paragraphs with stationary unique numbers, that will not change while changing the documents. The numbers should be unique, and will not change even if previous numbers are deleted. The order of the list is not mandatory, and addition of a new number before existing numbers is possible (for instance: the sequence 1, 4, 3 means that paragraphs 1-3 were written, then #2 was deleted, then #5 was added. #3 was not affected by the later editing)
The mechanism should be internal to the document, as I am working on line and off line. The numbers are allocated to every document individually.
Since I don't know to program under MS Word, I'd appreciate getting a complete solution.
Nope, it's not possible out-of-the-box. Word does not assign a permanent index to paragraphs. The simpliest way, but it ain't so simple, to do this is to programmatically assign an index number of each Paragraph range item to a CustomXML control that wraps the paragraph on load or whenever you run it. For this or any other solution, you'll need to learn the Word object model and program it through VBA or VSTO or OpenXML.
You can wrap a paragraph in a content control (structured document tag); these can have IDs.
Iirc, Word 2010 allows paragraphs to have IDs. M$ added this because they needed it for the concurrent editing introduced in 2010.
