Adding 2nd document

[Tim]

In an application i can open a specific document through code (VB.NET). How
would i then add pages to that document without creating another document
or, if i have to create a document, how to then copy the text on that
document, paste it at the end of the other document, and then close that
document(not the one first created but the second)

Thanks
TIm

Hi Tim,

In case you hadn't noticed, this group handles end-user questions, not
developer questions. And office.developer or word.vba group would be more
appropriate.

Word is a word processor: it adds pages as you add text, automatically. To
force a page break, you can use the InsertBreak method, with the appropriate
parameter. Or insert a Chr$(12) character.

Seeing as how you're SO new to Word and its object model, I recommend you play
around a bit in the user interface, to discover how to accomplish simple tasks
in it, then record performing the tasks in a macro (Tools/Macro). You can't use
the macro 1:1 in your .NET app, but it will point you to the objects, methods
and properties you need to work with.
