Re: Copy pages from a new document to an existing one

Apology for disturbing yoiu again Graham,
Your tips "Insert text based on choice from a dropdown form field" is what I
would like to use.
My control form is in access, there are 11 sections. The form consists of
yes.no tick boxes to select.
If I use an if statement to select each section how then do I adjust the
macro code to utilise the insert text. Seraching for an example really.
I.e
If Me! Section11 = true then
"somthing here to send to word insert text.
else
'do nothing
end if

etc for the next 10.

Struggling to understand the basics here.
Any help appreciated.

Dear Graham,
Thank you Thank you thank you.

You can do all of this with conditional fields or combination fields
in the merge provided the data contains sufficient information to
identify which document to include. See my web pages
http://www.gmayor.com/SelectFile.htm and
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm (the principle of
which is similar) for some techniques.

However if you are creating a template to insert boilerplate text in
a document to an individual (rather than a merge to a group) then
investigate autotext as a means of storing your data in the template
for insertion and perhaps the autotextlist field.

Thanks Graham,
I have a reference bookmark established on the mail merge form which
I was hoping would be the location for the pastings.

If there were a number of possible documents to be added in the mail
merge (letter) , not all would be used, but the possibility is that
they could. Would the method of "Includetext" work? If there were 11
posible documents which could be added?
The letter could have conditions of contract added or scope of
work, a brocher etc.
These documents are selected via a control. If the control is true
the document is copied to the mail merge letter - that was the hope.
The whole of each selection would be added not say a portion of each
- hense the need for the entire pages to be copied and pasted if
necessary for each selection.

Why not simply insert an Includetext field in the merge document to
insert the second document (or a bookmarked part of it) during the
merge?

Hello,
Thru automation, I can get a mail merge to work to create a letter
with address etc, and the document becomes visible.

How do I open a second document (I have its path).
Copy its contents.
Do I use;
Activedocument.Range.copy?????????
or
Activedocument.Wholestory.copy?????

Then paste it to the first document:
Activedocument.selection.paste ?????????
so that the contents appear

But the second document is now closed.

Any help would really be appreciated.
I have had error messages that say along the lines that the method
is unsupported.
