Why my Automator does not have "Combine word document"

I have Automator V 2.7 on iMac running Sierra. I needed to combine many Microsoft word document and saw others use Automator to do so. I do not have "combine word documents " options in my action. How can I add that. I have the latest office suite subscription. Help please.

The Office 2011 for Mac installation included the Automator action Combine Word Documents, and there is a community discussion about this here. But, you are on Sierra, with Office 2016 for Mac, and Microsoft may no longer provide this Combine Word Documents action in the newer Office. Have you looked through each of the Automator libraries to confirm?

You can also search/inquire on the Office 2016 for Mac Word community here.
