Where has my copy gone

[Dave Neve]

Hi

I am looking at the following code which should copy text from the footnotes
of the active doc and paste them elsewhere.

But I can't see where the copied text will end up.

Do I have to add lines to this code to specify the doc where the copied text
will be pasted?

Thanks in advance

Sub DuplicateFootNotes()
If ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count >= 1 Then
ActiveDocument.StoryRanges(wdFootnotesStory).Copy
Documents.Add.Content.Paste
End If

End Sub

Hi Dave

The expression "Documents.Add" causes Word to create a new blank document
based on the normal.dot template. That's where the pasted text will go.

If you want it to go into an existing document, you need to use the
Documents.Open method instead, and pass the filename as a parameter.
