4. Check the “Edit Description” box if you want to further customize the Combined Document Description (i.e., this will be the resulting name of the combined document).
 

5. Arrange the listed documents in the order that you want them to appear in the final document. Do this by clicking on a document, and then use one of the blue arrows on the right of the dialog box to move the selected document to the desired position. You can also use your mouse to drag a document to the desired position.
 

6. Click the “Create” button when you are satisfied with your document arrangement and description.

You will see the final document listed at the top of the Documents Page (if your page is sorted in date order) or elsewhere on the page depending on your current setting.
