Populating DocProperty fields in second Word Document from current document

**AndyE** · 11-08-2018, 05:29 PM

I have a userform that allows a user to populate a number of DocProperty fields in a document (Document A).

Once this step is complete the document is then emailed to an authoriser who completes other fields manually and then passes it back to the user.

A further document (Document B) is then opened and fields from document A have to be manually copied across into the relevant sections of document B. The 'common' fields are a mixture of DocProperty fields and the manual fields completed by the authoriser.

Is there any way this could be automated via a commandbutton in document A without having to 'build' document B from scratch in vba to create it when the commandbutton is clicked?

Thank you.

You could use a macro like the following for the transfer:

Simply add the above macro to the template you use to create the primary document. Then, when the primary document is returned, open both that and the destination document, ensuring the primary document is active before running the macro. No other documents should be open.
