I have several hundred files from microsoft word and open Office writer which I want to import to a single document. Is there an easier way than copy and paste? Any and all suggestions welcome.

Re: importing word processor files
What's your target? ODT file or PDF file?
You can insert entire files via menu Insert > File...
Be aware that some content won't be pasted like headlines, if the page styles have got the same names (better insert into a section).
Easier could be to generate a PDF file after "printing" it on a PDF printer (only drag and drop of several files onto specified printer) and connecting when creating the PDF file.
And again: What's the main purpose of your proceeding?

A Master Document is one possibility
Chapter 13 of the Writer Guide describes how to use Master Documents.

Insert > File ...
Google batch print to batch print multiple files. If you create PDF files PDFSAM can merge PDF files.
