Apparently there is some kind of meta-document called a 'master-file'; ( the same nomenclature seems to exist in LibreOffice and OpenOffice) which seems to be just a file of links to the component documents; so far so good.
Word processors have had this feature for a long time. I remember it in WordPerfect 5.1.

Have you placed new page commands in appropriate places? I doubt that simply combining the files will result in extra page breaks; you have to add those if you want them in all systems that I've used.
- 'chapter' headers (originally the document headers) get completely lost !
Perhaps you could try defining them in the master document, i.e.: Preliminary matter -> header definitions -> chapter inclusions. I know how to do this in LaTeX but I'm not a word processor user.
