Hi there Everyone. With the help of this site, a few months ago I made a macro which transferred some bookmarks from a Word file to an Excel file. That macro is still working and it was a great help for me. Thank You again for that. But now the situation is different, and I really do not know how to get started. Here is the problem:
I have a very detailed word file with a lot of information (let's call it file A). Then there is a another word file (file B) which is a brief file of file A. File A has many many rows, file B has only a few rows. File B contains only the main and most important information of file A.
So far I made everything manually. I wrote file A, then copy paste the most important parts to file B. Now I thought I should try to automate this procedure with the help of a macro which will take the relevant information from file A and paste it in the given bookmarks of file B.
My problem is that I really do not know how to do it. File A has no bookmarks. How will word know which information to copy. This could be solved by those bookmarks? Should I make the relevant part as bookmarks and then try to transfer it?
I know that this question sounds stupid but I really have to start from somewhere. Thank You in advance!
