Re: Insert "Text from File" doesn't insert bookmarked text

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



I figured it out, although it doesn't make much sense. We are
currently using "Compatibility Mode" in Office 2007. The source file
was saved in Word 2003 (.doc, not .docx). In the Insert File dialog,
if I set the file type to All Word Documents, I get the problem
described here (even though All Word Documents does include .doc). If
I set the file type to Word 97-2003 Documents, the process works (I
can insert bookmarked text). Seems to be a bug.

What you are describing certainly works for me. Did you make sure to type
the correct bookmark name?

Word 2007

If I use Insert > Text > Object > Text from File... to insert the text
of an entire Word document, the process works fine.

However, if I enter the name of an existing bookmark in the Range
subdialog and then press Insert, I get the message "File not found.
Check the file name and try again" (even though it's the same file as
the one that gets inserted in its entirety if I so direct).  The
bookmark is the bracket type (encompassing a paragraph or so), not the
insertion-point type.

Any ideas on how to get blocks of text from one Word file into another
using this (or another) procedure?
