teachwrite is on a distinguished road

I know its been a while since this post, but can someone suggest how to modify this macro so that the selected words are pasted at the bottom of a different document, rather than the same doc? (I want them pasted at the end of a style sheet). Thanks!

In my code below, rather than using the clipboard, I'm storing your selection as formatted text. Writing that to the end of the document, then deleting the original selection. After the write to the end of the doc, I add a carriage return, (vbCr).

I also added a message in case nothing was selected.
I tested this with an image in the selection and it also worked fine.


Code:
Sub MoveToOutTakes()
  
  Dim docEnd As Range
  Set docEnd = ActiveDocument.Range
  docEnd.Collapse direction:=collapseEnd
  
  Dim sel As Range
  Set sel = Selection.FormattedText
  
  If (sel.Start = sel.End) Then
    Call MsgBox(Prompt:="Nothing selected.", Buttons:=vbInformation)
  End If
  
  docEnd.FormattedText = sel
  docEnd.InsertAfter (vbCr)
  sel.Delete

End Sub
