Merging *.docx documents with different layout

Documents
1

Hi,

we are trying to merge multiple *.docx documents with different layout - page orientation, number of columns on page. To have different layout in the same document, each layout have to be separated with Section Break (Next Page). So we added section break to the end of each document. Unfortunately, merging these documents removed section breaks and output file have same layout on each page.

Is there any option how to keep Section breaks after merge? Or insert section break between every documents?

Thanks in advice.
