Retrieving the contents of the Bookmark into another Document

[LA Lawyer]

I am using Word 2007.

I want to retrieve (insert) the contents of a bookmark in another file into
a bookmark in the currently open file. How is that done?

You do not really need a macro to do that. It can be done by used of an {
INCLUDETEXT "filename" [bookmark] } field.

To do it using a macro

Dim Source as Document, Target as Document
Set Target = ActiveDocument
Set Source =
Documents.Open("Path\Filenameofdocumentcontainingthebookmarkedtext.doc")
Target.Bookmarks("Nameofbookmarkwhereyouwantthetextinserted").Range.Text =
Source.Bookmarks("Nameofbookmarkcontainingthetextthatyouwantinserted").Range.Text
Source.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
