[RESOLVED] Merging two .doc files

[Netmaster]

Hi everyone,

I wrote an application which converts .doc files into .pdf. Now I would like to add one more thing:
before converting the .doc file, which is selected by the user, I would like to add the content of an other (default) .doc file, which will not be selected by the user but the directory where the file is will be already in the code, in front of the file selected by the user. So after the two files are merged I will have the merged file converted to PDF.

I hope I have been clear enough.

Regards,

A.

Use

WordObject.Documents.ADD("1st file name with path")

and then

WordObject.Selection.InsertFile(filename:=2ndfile_FullName, Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False)

Hi Amrita.

Thanks for the reply. How should I declare "WordObject"? It keeps telling me "Name WordObject is not declared"

Thank you,

A.

Dim wordObject as Object

wordObject = CreateObject("Word.Application")

Cool now it compiles with no errors!
Unfortunately the program does not seem working. Nothing happens after i click the button!
Here is the code:

Dim wordObject As Object
        wordObject = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        wordObject.Documents.ADD("C:\hello.doc")
        wordObject.Selection.InsertFile(filename:=TextBox1.Text, Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False)

Thank you,

I did it by using the following code:

        Dim wordObject As Object
        wordObject = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        wordObject.Documents.ADD(TextBox1.Text)
        wordObject.Selection.InsertFile(filename:="C:\hello.doc", Range:="", ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False)
        wordObject.activedocument.saveas("c:\hellomerged.doc")
        MsgBox("ok")

Now I noticed that in the running processes there is the "WINWORD.exe" which is running in background. I need to figure out how to terminate it from the vb code.
I tried

wordObject.activedocument.close("c:\hellomerged.doc")

but doesn't work

Solved!
I just add the following line:

 wordObject.activedocument.close()

Thank you!
