It is a common practice in software industry in particular that we send a document for review to several reviewers. After reviewing each reviewer returns the document after giving comments and suggestions. Microsoft word 2007 provides a feature with which you can combine both the documents at a time until all the reviewer changes have been incorporated into a single document.
1.Go to the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Compare.
2.Click Combine revisions from multiple authors into a single document as shown in image below.A window will pop up.
3.Under Original document, click the name of the document into which you want to combine the changes from multiple sources. Browse for Original If you are unable to find the document in the list.

NOTE : Word can store only one set of formatting changes at a time. Therefore, when you merge multiple documents, you may be prompted to decide whether you want to keep the formatting from the original document or use the formatting from the edited document. If you don't need to track formatting changes, you can clear the Formatting check box in the Compare and Merge Documents dialog box.
