Add text to beginning of new document opened from original Word document, with styles

Thanks, but none of that was helpful. You do realize I searched for the answer for this, correct? Not only did I do that, but I asked Chat GPT multiple questions about how to do this, and it couldn't do it. It's been quite helpful on other questions, but it could not answer this one.

For the paragraphs.add method, I'm not using a selection object, so that doesn't work.

The Range.InsertParagraph method doesn't tell my how to do this in an open document, again because it's using selection, which I'm not. Nothing is selected.

The range.style link is completely worthless.

None of those links were helpful for my particular question.

The third example in the documentation:
"This example adds a paragraph mark before the second paragraph in the active document."

Code:

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Add _ 
 Range:=ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(2).Range

None of the example code in the documentation for InsertParagraph, InsertParagraphAfter or InsertParagraphBefore uses Selection. For example:

Code:

Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range(0, 0) 
With myRange 
 .InsertParagraph 
 .InsertBefore "Dear Sirs," 
End With

Code:

Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range(0, 0) 
With myRange 
 .InsertBefore "Title" 
 .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter 
 .InsertParagraphAfter 
End With

"To set this property, specify the local name of the style, an integer, a WdBuiltinStyle constant, or an object that represents the style." i.e.

Code:

nRng.Style = "styleName"
