Looking for software to link or assemble Word files

I'm looking for a software tool (or method?) that would allow me to link
or assemble many different Word files (from a variety of sources), which
would be shipped to customers as one finished package. Of course,
RoboHelp 7 (which I'm using for other projects) would work for this, but
I also want the customers to be able to add some text (from one paragraph
to several pages) to this package. I don't want to require customers to
purchase a HAT, learn how to operate a HAT, or even know how to link or
compile. I just want them to be able to add some text with some basic
formatting--it doesn't even have to be as "fancy" as Word. I'm assuming I
will need a programmer to write some code as part of this package. I'm
currently using RoboHelp Classic but could move to RoboHTML, if this will
help.
