Append range to document

[Merijn Vandenabeele]

Hi,

I want to append the content of a range to a document, including all
formatting. The problem is I can't use the clipboard for this. Can this be
done and how?

Hi Merijn,

Yes, look up the FormattedText property in the VBA Help. There are code
samples there for what you need to do.

It ought to be _possible_ but it wouldn't be easy - I think you would need
to check for all possible formats and apply them individually to the pasted
range. Why can't you use the clipboard?

What might be possible (depending on exactly what your situation is) with
Word 2000 (though AFAIK not with later versions as the Task Pane seems off
limits to normal VBA) would be some manipulation of the Office clipboard as
a temporary holding area for what's on the Windows clipboard.

Thanks Jonathan and Tony,

seems like FormattedText was the way to go.

Best regards,
