You can't simply add two binary files together like you can with an ASCII
file and expect things to work.
If you're really dealing with Word Documents that you want to merge
together, then you're going to actually want to use some code that actually
can work with a Word document specifically.
Apache has a project called POI (http://poi.apache.org/) which has libraries
for natively reading/writing various Microsoft file formats.
If the Word documents are created using newer versions of Word and are
XML-based, then you can just work with the XML (but you'll need to read up
on the Word XML specification and get familiar with how the file format is
organized.)
