auto insertion of text from one word file into another

[huw5]

i have text in one word file, that i need transferring into another wor
file

i'm hoping there is an easy method for automatically inserting the dat
elements into the other word doc, e.g.


word file 1 (stores the data)
============

NAME: hello
ADDRESS: 56 poo rd

============

run a macro of something, and data is transferred into the below file.

word file 2 (collects the data)
===========

the name is hello, and address is 56 poo rd.

===========


any simple way of doing this???.....macros etc....
don't really want to get into vb and dde if i can avoid it, but
hey if it's the only way then suppose i'll have to


any suggestions would be hugely appreciated

In Document1, bookmark each bit of text that you want to use in other
documents (Select the text, as in "hello" above, go to Insert > Bookmarks...
and name the bookmark NameBkm for example).

Then in all other documents where you want to use this text, use an
INCLUDETEXT field (Insert > Fields...). You just have to specify the file
and the bookmark.
As in {INCLUDETEXT "D:\Document1.doc" NameBkm }(Note that the {} have to be
inserted by doing CTRL-F9, or use the Insert > Fields... dialog.

Our friend has been busy multi posting. That is the fourth place, and the
third time someone has replied to the exact same question ( I have here, you
have and Doug also has in vba.general)

Please, huw5, do not multipost.

If you want you can crosspost (Many newsgroups in the To: field when you
crate your message.)

The reason is simple:
People may end up "wasting" their time answering a post that has already
been answered elsewhere, thus it may be very likely that their particular
response to a post be totally ignored if the reply received elsewhere was
satisfactory to the original poster.

Hi Jean-Guy,

It's more than likely that cross posting is not possible from, and
therefore, another shortcoming of Irubin's crappy WordForums.Com website.

Your post to the vba.general newsgroup (Fri, 23 Apr 2004 06:16:39 -0500) was
posted 3 minutes before your first post to this newsgroup (Fri, 23 Apr 2004
06:19:45) and it was answered within 24 hours.

3 minutes is being extremely impatient.

Unless it's another failing of Irubin's crappy WordForums.com website.

I would suggest that you do not access the newsgroups via WordForums.com.
If you can, use a newsreader such as Outlook Express. If you cannot use
that, then connect to the newsgroups via
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp

Your posts will appear more promptly and answers will also be available as
soon as they are posted, rather than when IRubin gets around to it.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
