Merge documents

coriolisss · #1 11-13-2018, 04:19 AM

Hello,

I am a very bigninner in Word VBA.

I would like to code something to help me merge multiple Word documents in one only Word file, with the "MergeDocuments".
But "Mergedocuments" doesn't work for me :

Code:

    Application.MergeDocuments OriginalDocument:=Documents("Part1A.docx"), _
        RevisedDocument:=Documents("Part2.docx"), Destination:= _
        wdCompareDestinationNew, Granularity:=wdGranularityWordLevel, _
        CompareFormatting:=True, CompareCaseChanges:=True, CompareWhitespace:= _
        True, CompareTables:=True, CompareHeaders:=True, CompareFootnotes:=True, _
        CompareTextboxes:=True, CompareFields:=True, CompareComments:=True, _
        CompareMoves:=True, OriginalAuthor:="GD", RevisedAuthor:= _
        "GD", FormatFrom:=wdMergeFormatFromPrompt

I have got the 4160 error.

Could you help me please ?
Thanks

The 4160 error message includes a sentence telling you you've supplied a bad filename. That's because you need to supply the full path, as well, for both files.

I just understand the problem: the 2 files need to be open first. So I added this in the code and it works fine.
Thank you for your help.

Not so. As I already said, you need to supply the full path, not just the filename.
