concatenate word documents from .net

[sudha]

Hi
I need to write a c# program which has to merge selected
word documents into one word document.
Kindly advise the efficient way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance

when I did this I used
Word.Applicatio n wordApp = new Word.Applicatio n();
wordApp.Visible = true; // for debug and monitoring
Word.Documents docs = wordApp.Documen ts;
Word.Document doc= docs.Open(ref filename1,
ref missing, // confirmconversi ons,
ref missing, // readOnly,
ref missing, // addtoRecentFile s,
ref missing, // passworddOc,
ref missing, // passwdTemplate,
ref missing, // revert,
ref missing, // writePasswordDo c,
ref missing, // writePasswordTe mplate,
ref missing, // format,
ref missing, // encoding,
ref missing, // visible,
ref missing, // openAndRepair,
ref missing, // docDirection,
ref missing // noEncodingDialo g);
);

wordApp.Selecti on.WholeStory() ;
wordApp.Selecti on.Copy(); // put on clipboard

docs.Close(ref missing, // savechanges
ref missing, // originalFormat
ref missing // RouteDocument
);

doc= docs.Open(ref filename2,
ref missing, // confirmconversi ons,
ref missing, // readOnly,

ref missing, // format,
ref missing, // encoding,
ref missing, // visible,
ref missing, // openAndRepair,
ref missing, // docDirection,
ref missing // noEncodingDialo g);
);

wordApp.Selecti on.WholeStory() ;

wordApp.Selecti on.EndOf(ref missing, // Unit
ref missing // Extend
);

wordApp.Selecti on.InsertAfter( "--------------------------------------------"
);
wordApp.Selecti on.InsertParagr aph();
wordApp.Selecti on.Paste(); // paste from clipboard

// include this line to save the doc when finished.
// wordApp.Save();

// include this next line to close MS-Word
// wordApp.Quit(re f missing, ref missing, ref missing);

Hi Dino,

Do you have a particular reason for using the Selection object and
copy/pasting, rather than working directly with Word's Range object?

when I did this I used
Word.Applicatio n wordApp = new Word.Applicatio n();
wordApp.Visible = true; // for debug and monitoring
Word.Documents docs = wordApp.Documen ts;
Word.Document doc= docs.Open(ref filename1,
ref missing, // confirmconversi ons,
ref missing, // readOnly,
ref missing, // addtoRecentFile s,
ref missing, // passworddOc,
ref missing, // passwdTemplate,
ref missing, // revert,
ref missing, // writePasswordDo c,
ref missing, // writePasswordTe mplate,
ref missing, // format,
ref missing, // encoding,
ref missing, // visible,
ref missing, // openAndRepair,
ref missing, // docDirection,
ref missing // noEncodingDialo g);
);

wordApp.Selecti on.WholeStory() ;
wordApp.Selecti on.Copy(); // put on clipboard

docs.Close(ref missing, // savechanges
ref missing, // originalFormat
ref missing // RouteDocument
);

doc= docs.Open(ref filename2,
ref missing, // confirmconversi ons,
ref missing, // readOnly,
ref missing, // addtoRecentFile s,
ref missing, // passworddOc,

ref missing, // writePasswordTe mplate,
ref missing, // format,
ref missing, // encoding,
ref missing, // visible,
ref missing, // openAndRepair,
ref missing, // docDirection,
ref missing // noEncodingDialo g);
);

wordApp.Selecti on.WholeStory() ;

wordApp.Selecti on.EndOf(ref missing, // Unit
ref missing // Extend
);

wordApp.Selecti on.InsertAfter( "--------------------------------------------"
);
wordApp.Selecti on.InsertParagr aph();
wordApp.Selecti on.Paste(); // paste from clipboard
