That means you have 3 paragraphs, not merely a paragraph of 3 lines, in which case -and assuming you want to replace those 3 paragraphs - you could use:

Code:

                                Set wdRngTgt = .Range.Paragraphs.First
                                wdRngTgt.MoveEnd wdParagraph, 2
                                Set wdRngSrc = wdDocSrc.Sections.First.Headers(HdFt.Index).Range.Paragraphs.First
                                wdRngSrc.MoveEnd wdParagraph, 2
                                wdRngTgt.FormattedText = wdRngSrc.FormattedText

This does essentially the same as a copy/paste that preserves the source formatting, but without using the clipboard.
