Combining Documents in MS Word for Mac 2011

I am attempting to combine 2 MS Word Documents, both containing photos and PDFs, into one master Word Document. I am using the Insert > File option in MS Word for Mac 2011, version 14.7.3. When I attempt this, the font and formatting of the original document is changed from Calibri to Cambria, even though both documents were created with the exact same fonts (Calibri) throughout. Also, the formatting of the inserted document changes, and needs to be reformatted to match the original. I've tried creating a section break, and the same thing happens when I insert Doc 2 into Doc 1. Both were created on this I-Mac desk-top computer which is running OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.6. Can someone help with this problem?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

I don't have that version of Word and haven't tested this, but if you want to combine the 2 documents instead of using Insert File, have you considered or tried opening the other document, using Edit menu Select All (Command A) then copy and then go to the first document and pasting?

If that doesn't help, you may want to also post the question in the Microsoft Office 2011 Word forum: Microsoft Community
