Combining multiple Microsoft Office Document Image Writer files?

[Ronny Hamida]

Hi there.

Is there any easy way to combine multiple MDI files together? Currently, we
are "printing" things to the Microsoft Office Document image Writer print
driver and creating files with numbers as the file names (001, 002, 003, . .
..). Surely someone has an easier way to combine these files together
(perhaps a small VBA program of sorts).

The current way I'm doing it is to Open one file, and then click File ->
Insert File. Doing this, I'm only allowed to select one file at a time. It
would be nice to be able to select multiple files.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers,

Ronny

Hi Ronny,

There is an object model for MS Office Document Imaging and it can be manipulated (somewhat) through VBA

You may want to check in the Office Dev newsgroup (link below) or one of the Word VBA discussion groups to see if anyone has created
a tool to do what you want.

Bob -

Thank you for your reply on this. The information that you had provided me
assisted in creating a VBScript to do several things. Unfortunately, because
of the lack of examples within the help file, I am unable to determine which
method to use (perhaps Add.Images) and how to add "all images" from an MDI
file to another current MDI file.

I was able to produce something and will seek assistance with what I already
have created in the developer area.

Thanks again!

Ronny
