Finding and Replacing a word with text copied to clip board

[gmayor]

While Paul is correct, if you are copying the content of the named document into the active document then the following will do that. You don't have to use the clipboard (though you could).

Dim oDoc As Document
Dim oSource As Document
Dim oRng As Range
    Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
    Set oSource = Documents.Open(Filename:= _
                                 "X:\sconner\CCD Damage Mechanisms\Mechanisms\Underdeposit Corrosion.docx", _
                                 ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _
                                 PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
                                 WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:= _
                                 wdOpenFormatAuto, XMLTransform:="")
    Set oRng = oDoc.Range
    With oRng.Find
        Do While .Execute(FindText:="(NEXT MECH)")
            oRng.FormattedText = oSource.Range.FormattedText
            oRng.Collapse 0
        Loop
    End With
    oSource.Close 0
