I have a folder of documents that I'm trying to make page numbers for but I will need to add all of them into one document. I know you can do "Insert\File" but it will take too long and I will probably end up make a bunch of mistakes. I also tried dragging all of them to the end of the first document but I want each file to start on a new page, not at the end of the last one.

It appears this is new approach of trying print all your documents with the same font size and page size. In the time you used to post in the forum you could have done it correctly by importing all the documents.
If you are making a major document or book, not only you want each document to start on a new page, but if it is a major section, may be start on an odd page (if you are two-siding).
Thirty documents is not a major compilation. I've done larger editing the proceedings for a convention, where the documents were originally written by different authors in different page sizes, with illustrations and tables to be inserted. Just start with the first one and append the other documents in order. To get a consistant layout sometimes it is best to remove all existing formatting and reapply them as you proceed. Just backup as you do each document.

You know your choices. :)
1. Import all the documents into the existing and add a hard page break if necessary
2. Copy and paste, inserting a hard page break.
3. Start document 2 to continue with the next page number, rather than page 1, doing that for each document.
Just a matter of which one you choose. I'd personally go with number 1.

Most Word Processors have functions for this type of thing built into them. You have no need to copy and paste, everything is done automatically.
You create a master documents which containers reference to all sub documents. The sub documents are documents in their own right, but when incorporated into the master document, the master document controls all formatting, page numbering, index numbering, etc.
The sub documents still exist on the disk as individual documents, but the master document brings them altogether into a single document.
Both Word and Word perfect have this facility. Word Perfect is particularly good.
Look up Master Document in the help files.
