Using vba to copy the contents of a word document into another word document

Question

I haven\'t used VB for years, so please forgive me if this turns out to be obvious. I\'m trying to write a word vba macro for use in a template which will display a userform

Answer 1

Record a macro...

1. start in the source document
2. press ctrl-a to select everything
3. press ctrl-c to copy it to the clipboard
4. switch to the target document
5. press ctrl-v to paste into the document
6. stop recording

or (assuming word 2007 or later)

1. start in the target document with the source document closed
2. on the ribbon click insert > object > Text from file...
3. navigate to the source document
4. click the insert button
5. stop recording

I prefer the second version so I should have put it first
