Word 2002 - inserting files into active document

[Sandy]

Hi there

I need to programmatically insert documents into the active document. The
documents to be inserted have a different page set up to the active document
and also different headers and footers.

I need to insert up to four documents into the active document so need to
know the best way to do this. I have included section breaks in the
documents to be inserted so that the page setup information is inserted with
the document contents but this doesn't run as quickly as I would like - would
it be quicker to store the page setup information in the code, then
programatically insert section breaks and adjust page setup?

I also need the "cleanest" solution possible for the benefit of future
developers working in my department.

I am working with Word 2002.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Only testing in your target environment can say for sure. Word does require time
to calculate page layout; in the end, there's nothing you can do to speed that
up.

I also need the "cleanest" solution possible for the benefit of future
developers working in my department.

I am working with Word 2002.

If there's a chance these inserted document's page layout could change, then
hard-coding the page setup information will not be "clean"...
