string inputDoc1 = MyDir + "Big document.docx";
string inputDoc2 = MyDir + "Tables.docx";

Merger.Merge(ArtifactsDir + "LowCode.MergeDocument.1.docx", new[] { inputDoc1, inputDoc2 });

OoxmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new OoxmlSaveOptions { Password = "Aspose.Words" };
Merger.Merge(ArtifactsDir + "LowCode.MergeDocument.2.docx", new[] { inputDoc1, inputDoc2 }, saveOptions, MergeFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);

Merger.Merge(ArtifactsDir + "LowCode.MergeDocument.3.pdf", new[] { inputDoc1, inputDoc2 }, SaveFormat.Pdf, MergeFormatMode.KeepSourceLayout);

LoadOptions firstLoadOptions = new LoadOptions() { IgnoreOleData = true };
LoadOptions secondLoadOptions = new LoadOptions() { IgnoreOleData = false };
Merger.Merge(ArtifactsDir + "LowCode.MergeDocument.4.docx", new[] { inputDoc1, inputDoc2 }, new[] { firstLoadOptions, secondLoadOptions }, saveOptions, MergeFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);

Document doc = Merger.Merge(new[] { inputDoc1, inputDoc2 }, MergeFormatMode.MergeFormatting);
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "LowCode.MergeDocument.5.docx");

doc = Merger.Merge(new[] { inputDoc1, inputDoc2 }, new[] { firstLoadOptions, secondLoadOptions }, MergeFormatMode.MergeFormatting);
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "LowCode.MergeDocument.6.docx");
```
