Macro to paste text into word 2003 doc?

[simpleonline]

I need to know if it's possible to create a macro that can enter information automatically that I have already create before hand?

How would one do this ?


Thanks

Yes.

But...

How would one do...WHAT?

You created it in a text file, and you want to get all of it from that textfile?

You created it in a text file, and you want to get SOME of it from that text file?

You created it in a userform, and stored it in a document variable, and you want to get it from there?

You just created it?

You created it before?

You created it in the same document?

You created it in a formfield?

You created it in an Excel file, and want to bring it in from there?



and so on.

howdy...Gerri...I'm here to flustrate you once again....lol...well I have a text file that contains a paragraph of two information that I would like to insert automatically into a letter that I generate.....well there are several different txt files that I would use depending on which one I need but I would create a macro for each one.......I want to know how I could insert the information in that text into a word doc using a macro?

Ex:

The brown cow jumped [would need to insert text file paragrah here] over the red fox

No need for a macro. Use an INCLUDETEXT field. The text would need to be bookmarked though. So the file would have to be, therefore, a Word document.

So, say you have yaddaBlah.doc. You bookmark a paragraph:

"now is the time for whatever blah blah."

You name the bookmark FromThere.

Insert a INCLUDETEXT fiield;

{ INCLUDETEXT "c:\\SomeFolder\\Other\\FooBar.doc" From There }

The text in the bookmark will be in the document.

If it is the whole file you want, you can keep it as a text file, and use INCLUDETEXT with no bookmark.

{ INCLUDETEXT "c:\\SomeFolder\\Other\\FooBar.txt" }

Or, alternatively, you could make an INI file of paragraphs and grab it from there.

C:\zzz\Whatever\Test.ini has:

[MyParagraphs]
1 = “the text of one”
2 = “the text of the second”
3 = “the text of the third”

Now:
System.PrivateProfileString("c:\zzz\Whatever\Test.ini", _
"MyParagraphs", 2)

returns “the text of the second”. This is a string, and can used like any other string, and placed anywhere you CAN place a string. Using the Selection,
Selection.TypeText System.PrivateProfileString("c:\zzz\Whatever\Test.ini", _
"MyParagraphs", 2)which would type "the text of the second" at the Selection point.

inserted or a bookmark, or a ....


Or, alternatively, you could make your inserts as AutoText.

You have lots of options.
