Are these straight up text documents?
If so, I think that a method has already been shown for how to copy all
the files to one and then you can insert a single file.
On Linux, this is even easier...
Of course, since I like to write macros, I would write a macro that
looked something like this:
sFulPath = "path to a document"
oDoc = ThisComponent
oText = oDoc.Text
oCurs = oText.createTextCursor()
oCurs.gotoEnd(False)
oSFA = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess")
If NOT oSFA.exists(sFullPath) Then
MsgBox ("Unable to open " & sFullPath & ". Please check folder
settings.")
Exit Sub
Else
oTextStream = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.io.TextInputStream")
oTextStream.setEncoding("UTF-8")
'oTextStream.setEncoding("LATIN-1")
iStream = oSFA.openFileRead(sFullPath)
oTextStream.setInputStream(iStream)
Do While NOT oTextStream.isEOF()
s = oTextStream.readLine()
oText.InsertString(oText.End, s, False)
oText.InsertControlCharacter(oText.getEnd(),com.sun.star.text.ControlCharacter.APPEND_PARAGRAPH,
False)
Loop
oTextStream.closeInput()
End If
Then you would just need to write a macro to loop through each file of
interest.

Another way to do this might be to make a Master Document, and enter
therein the names of all the text files in sequence (perhaps from a
captured directory listing?). The output document resulting from the
expanded Master Document might then be edited in the usual way.
There are problems: the individual documents might lose their
formatting, and one would need to get one's head around the
complexities of Master Documents and their structure. For a one-off
task the hundred documents could have been inserted by hand using
/File /Insert and an hour's work.
My experience with master documents has been that the expanded master
document cannot be edited directly, only the individual component
files may be edited.
