inserting wordml snippets into another Wordml document

[slaxman]

Scenario steps
1. Open a word document and save as WORDML file
2. Open another document and save a 'selection' as WORDML(this is done
thru' code as word does not have the facility to save a selection.
3. Now insert or append the prev. Wordml snippet into the original wordml
doc. to create an output WORDML (would like to do it w/o using WORD. ie.
Manipulate purely as text or xml)

any help is greatly appreciated...

thanks

You use a transform or manipulate the XML directly with a parser or XPath.
Just take everything contained in the <w:body> element from (2) and make it
the LastChild of the same element in (1).

If you don't know how to use XML like this, I recommend you learn XML first,
and ask in the XML and/or XSL newsgroup. I can recommend the "Office 2003 XML"
book from O'Reilly press.
