            // The different overloads allow to merge documents with full formatting,
            // without formatting, or using combinations of both.
            // Here we demonstrate the most flexible MergeDocuments() overload by merging the
            // two loaded documents twice, first copying their original formatting, and then
            // clearing it:
            var doc = GcWordDocument.MergeDocuments(
