If you have written a document in separate sections, you can easily combine them into one document as follows:

Make sure all your in-text citations have been created using RefWorks Citation Manager.
Copy the sections in to one of the existing documents, e.g. add sections 2 and 3 to section 1.
In Refworks Citation Manager, click the menu button and run Update Document (as below).
All the citations will be checked and the corrected reference list produced at the end of the combined doc.
Save this with a new title so you have the original as a back up.
