Re: How to extract content from other word documents

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The batch processing is simple enough, but you have not provided enough
detail to identify exactly what it is that you want to extract. A macro
would have the same problem. How exactly is the section identified? Does it
have unique formatting? Does it comprise one or more sentences or
paragraphs? Does it comprise one or more Word sections? Is it always on a
particular page. Then having identified it, how do you want it to appear in
the new document?

Do you have a web resource where a sample of the document(s) could be
posted?

consolidated. I would like this to be extracted and dumped to a new
word document in the same folder. I can manually run the macro from
new word document , but opening the individual files to extract the
content would required to automated as there would be around 100 new
documents each day in that folder.

Hi All,
I have a large number of word documents with me and
each document contains section called introduction or overview
(header 1) (it is either one of the two). I would like to
consolidate all of this into a new word document. How do I do the
same

In short take (overview/intro) sections from different document and
dump it into a single word file.

Here are my computer details

OS: Windows XP
Office 2003 Professional
