Click Merge Button
Once the files are selected in the File List, click the Merge button to begin the merge operation.
The Select the Merge Operation dialog appears, prompting the user to select the type of merge
operation to perform. The default setting is the Standard merge operation. Accept the Standard
merge default by clicking the Next button.
The user is then prompted to identify a target file into which the selected files (i.e., source files)
will be merged. In the Set Target File dialog, either navigate to the folder containing an existing
target file, or enter a new name for the target file in the File name field. After identifying a target
file, click the OK button to continue.
If the named target file did not previously exist, the application will ask whether it should be
created. Click the Yes button to create the target file and continue.
