Many style, bullet, and numbering problems seem to start when text is pasted
in from another Word document. Can someone suggest a way to use VBA to get
text from another document without causing corruption?

Thanks,

Keith

Hi Keith,

You might try to avoid using .Copy and .Paste. Instead, you could use the
.Text property of the .Paragraph object, as in the following example:

Dim odocCopyTo As Document
Dim odocCopyFrom As Document

odocCopyTo = ActiveDocument
odocCopyFrom = Documents(2)
odocCopyTo.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text = odocCopyFrom.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text

HTH,
Dave

adjust the above lines to read

Set odocCopyTo = ActiveDocument
Set odocCopyFrom = Documents(2)
