Default Import a specific range (bookmarked section) from all Word docs in a selected folder
Hello,
I'm not a VBA programmer; I do know a fair amount of javascript. Is there a way that the above script can be modified to import a specific range (bookmarked section) from all Word docs in a selected folder? I'd greatly appreciate any help. Here's my first attempt at it. What I'm trying to do is select all files in the folder selected by the user, then import all files in that folder, selecting the Range (bookmark) "pmo":


Option Explicit
Sub Importer()
Dim myFolder As String
Dim myFile As String
Dim wdDoc As Document
Dim docmFiles As Document

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

myFolder = openFolder

If myFolder = "" Then Exit Sub

myFile = Dir(myFolder & "\*.docm", vbNormal)
Set wdDoc = ActiveDocument

While myFile <> ""

With Selection.Find.Text = "pmo"
End With
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1

Set docmFiles = Documents.Open(FileName:=myFolder & "\" & myFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False, ConfirmConversions:=False)
wdDoc.Range.InsertAfter docmFiles.Range.Bookmarks.Item("pmo") & vbCr
docmFiles.Close SaveChanges:=True


myFile = Dir()
Wend

Set docmFiles = Nothing
Set wdDoc = Nothing



Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function openFolder() As String

Dim oFolder As Object

openFolder = ""

Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder( 0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then openFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path

Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function

For that, you could use a macro like:
Code:
Sub Import_Bookmarked_Text()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, wdDocSrc As Document, wdDocTgt As Document
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
Set wdDocTgt = ActiveDocument
While strFile <> ""
  If strFolder & "\" & strFile <> wdDocTgt.FullName Then
  Set wdDocSrc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
  With wdDocSrc
    If .Bookmarks.Exists("pmo") Then
    wdDocTgt.Range.InsertAfter vbCr
    wdDocTgt.Range.Characters.Last.FormattedText = .Bookmarks("pmo").Range.FormattedText
    .Close SaveChanges:=False
  End With
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDocSrc = Nothing: Set wdDocTgt = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 
Function GetFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function
PS: When posting code, please use the code tags, indicated by the # button on the posting menu. Without them, your code loses much of whatever structure it had

Default Multiple bookmark ranges
Thanks for that, Paul. Now, if I want to insert a couple more bookmark ranges into the same doc, can I just repeat a section of that code and just change the bookmark? My attempt is below, just repeating the "With" section using another bookmark called "int" (thanks for the tip on code tags):

Code:
Sub Import_Bookmarked_Text()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, wdDocSrc As Document, wdDocTgt As Document
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
Set wdDocTgt = ActiveDocument
While strFile <> ""
  If strFolder & "\" & strFile <> wdDocTgt.FullName Then
  Set wdDocSrc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
  With wdDocSrc
    If .Bookmarks.Exists("pmo") Then
    wdDocTgt.Range.InsertAfter vbCr
    wdDocTgt.Range.Characters.Last.FormattedText = .Bookmarks("pmo").Range.FormattedText
    .Close SaveChanges:=False
  End With
  With wdDocSrc
    If .Bookmarks.Exists("int") Then
    wdDocTgt.Range.InsertAfter vbCr
    wdDocTgt.Range.Characters.Last.FormattedText = .Bookmarks("int").Range.FormattedText
    .Close SaveChanges:=False
  End With
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDocSrc = Nothing: Set wdDocTgt = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 
Function GetFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function

Yes, you can do that. If there's a lot of bookmarks, I'd probably set up an array of bookmark names and put the With .. End With block into a loop that iterates through the array.

How do search for a heading like "PMO Initiatives" in my master doc and just insert the bookmark/range contents at the line just below that? The current script seems to just add all the ranges at the end of the doc.

I should probably explain a little more. I have a doc with four sections:
  • PMO PROJECTS
  • INTERNAL INITIATIVES
  • OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
  • ISSUES/RISKS
Then there are 30 or so reports that come from staff that have four matching bookmarks corresponding to each of those section headings. What I need the macro to do is first find the "PMO PROJECTS" heading, go down one line, and insert the "PMO" range from the 30 reports into that section. Then I have to search for "INTERNAL INITIATIVES" go down one line, and insert the "INT" range, and so on. Hope that makes sense.

Code:
Sub Import_Bookmarked_Text()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, wdDocSrc As Document, wdDocTgt As Document
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
Set wdDocTgt = ActiveDocument
While strFile <> ""
  If strFolder & "\" & strFile <> wdDocTgt.FullName Then
    Set wdDocSrc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
 
      With wdDocSrc
        If .Bookmarks.Exists("pmo") Then
            ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.Find.Text = "PMO PROJECTS"
            Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
            Selection.Find.Execute
            Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
        wdDocTgt.Range.InsertAfter
        wdDocTgt.Range.Characters.Last.FormattedText = .Bookmarks("pmo").Range.FormattedText
        .Close SaveChanges:=False
        End If
      End With
 
 
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.Find.Text = "INTERNAL INITIATIVES"
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
 
    Set wdDocSrc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
      With wdDocSrc
        If .Bookmarks.Exists("int") Then
        wdDocTgt.Range.InsertAfter vbCr
        wdDocTgt.Range.Characters.Last.FormattedText = .Bookmarks("int").Range.FormattedText
        .Close SaveChanges:=False
        End If
      End With
 
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.Find.Text = "OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE"
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
 
    Set wdDocSrc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
      With wdDocSrc
        If .Bookmarks.Exists("ops") Then
        wdDocTgt.Range.InsertAfter vbCr
        wdDocTgt.Range.Characters.Last.FormattedText = .Bookmarks("ops").Range.FormattedText
        .Close SaveChanges:=False
        End If
      End With
 
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.Find.Text = "ISSUES/RISKS"
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
 
    Set wdDocSrc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
      With wdDocSrc
        If .Bookmarks.Exists("iss") Then
        wdDocTgt.Range.InsertAfter vbCr
        wdDocTgt.Range.Characters.Last.FormattedText = .Bookmarks("iss").Range.FormattedText
        .Close SaveChanges:=False
        End If
      End With
 
  End If
 
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDocSrc = Nothing: Set wdDocTgt = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
