MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / October 2007How to extract content from other word documents
Hi All, I have a large number of word documents with me and each document contains section called introduction or overview (header 1) (it is either one of the two). I would like to consolidate all of this into a new word document. How do I do the same In short take (overview/intro) sections from different document and dump it into a single word file. Here are my computer details OS: Windows XP Office 2003 Professional Regards, Arry PS : I would have a folder where I would have all the word documents (each day there would be a new set of documents in that folder) to be consolidated. I would like this to be extracted and dumped to a new word document in the same folder. I can manually run the macro from new word document , but opening the individual files to extract the content would required to automated as there would be around 100 new documents each day in that folder. > Hi All, > I have a large number of word documents with me and each [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Regards, > Arry The batch processing is simple enough, but you have not provided enough detail to identify exactly what it is that you want to extract. A macro would have the same problem. How exactly is the section identified? Does it have unique formatting? Does it comprise one or more sentences or paragraphs? Does it comprise one or more Word sections? Is it always on a particular page. Then having identified it, how do you want it to appear in the new document? Do you have a web resource where a sample of the document(s) could be posted?
