Default Merging documents with and with out headers

Stefan,

It didn't work for me.

Let me explain you what I tried. I opened the document with First page
header and added section break continuous (when i tried section break
next page, page header appeared on the new page). Then I opened the
second report that has no header and added the section break
continuous at the end. Copied the entire content including the break
and pasted in the first document.

Header appeared on the report also.

Please help, I am stuck with this.

Thanks

Srinivas

Basically, the article says that if you want to preserve section formatting
when copying and pasting, you will have to add a section break after the
contents you want to copy, and you should then copy and paste the contents
up to and including the break. And when using the Insert File dialog box,
you will have to insert a section break at the beginning and end of the
source document.

Hi,

I am trying to merge word documents from VB. I tried using Insert+File
and Copy & Paste methods. Both works perfect if I merge similar
documents. But as per the specs I need to merge documents of various
types (with header, with out header, different page settings,
different fonts etc), in short any format of word document, with out
losing the existing formatting.

During my search on web I have come to know that using Section break
with yield the required result. I tried with no luck.

Please help me crack this.

Thanks in advance

Srinivas
