Thanks Jezebel

Is it more appropriate to use one over the other? Basically what I'm doing
is I have document1 open and I run a macro that opens up a document2. This
macro copies certain paragraphs from document one and certain paragraphs
from document two and merges them together in document3. I was using the
range object as I was under the impression that this was the object to use
if you're not highlighting anything in the document interface. is my logic
wrong? When merging things back together I want to keep the original
formatting of the paragraphs from their original sources. It was explained
how to do this via the selection object. Is that the way I should be heading
with this?
