Hi,
In VBA how do you
1. select all text in a document?
2. Copy the selected text to the clipboard?
Click to expand...

without going into detail, try:

ActiveDocument.Range.Select
ActiveDocument.Range.Copy

whereby "ActiveDocument.Range.Select" is redundant.

And, that copies _everything_, not only text.

Hello Helmut
When you say "Copies everything" does that include the FILE header & footer?
I am very happy to copy "everything" except these as they contain links to
non-existant files including templates. The object of the exercise is to get
rid of these non-existant links. Manual SelectAll, Copy and Paste into new
document does appear to solve the problem
Many thanks for your input

Hi td,

if you exclude the last paragraph mark,
which is what in former times was the end-of-doc mark,
and which carries a lot more of information
than an ordinary paragraph mark,
then you get nothing but the content of the main story.

Like, this time using selection:

Sub testcopy()
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.End = Selection.End - 1
Selection.Copy
End Sub

re
ActiveDocument.Range.Select
ActiveDocument.Range.Copy

I want to thank you so much for this code. I had been looking for this
ability, to include Headers/Footers, etc. and only came up with answers that
it couldn't be done.

This is terrific. Thank you, Danke
