Automatic Copy and Paste (macro?) from one word document to another
Hi everyone,
I have one document which has headings in for different elements of a property so chimney, roof etc with descriptions underneath. I then have to manually collapse all and double click and drag and drop the headings into a report template document. So I was hoping someone could tell me how I could get the heading chimney stacks to automatically transfer to a set position within the report document. I was hoping by for example putting an “anchor 1” within both documents a single click could copy and paste the details. This would then be duplicated around 20 times. Anchor 2, anchor 3 etc. I hope that makes sense, but I can’t imagine this manual process is the modern way of doing a copy and paste. Thank you. James |

I'm trying to wrap my head around what you're describing here. You have two documents. You want to copy the headers from one document into another document, but the text that goes between the headers is already in place? Or you're copying those into a new blank document? You're doing this one time or this is something you would repeatedly have to do? Is one of these things constant (same outline of headers, different text, or maybe vice versa) and the other part changes often? I'm trying to figure out why you wouldn't start with a template with the headings in place and then add the paragraphs of text to that. To me, it seems a little like it would be easier to start with the framework of an outline. Maybe I'm just not picturing what you're trying to do. What do you mean by manually collapse all? Do you know that you can right mouse click on your heading, look for the Expand/Collapse item and choose Collapse All the headings of that level? Ann |
