How to extract content from other word documents

[Arry Potter]

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

Regards,
Arry

PS : I would have a folder where I would have all the word documents (each
day there would be a new set of documents in that folder) to be
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.

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?
