How to automatically extract selected text to a new document
I want to create an encyclopedia document full of boilerplate sections. The user will then go through this document, identifying somehow the sections he/she is interested in, and then "push a button" and all the sections are extracted to a new document. Contrary to what this post title implies, I don't want to have to individually select each piece of text and then copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop it to the new document. I want all selected sections to be moved all at once in one step. A reasonable interface for the user to identify desired sections seems to be to use a checkbox. However, I don't know how to define the scope of text associated with that checkbox, nor how to do the actual extraction to the new document. I'm not aware that this is a standard feature in Word, so I'm assuming some amount of macro or post-processing will be needed. Any ideas about how to do this? Thanks -- Mark |
