Hi all,

Is it possible for Excel's VBA to merge Word docs into one document?

It needs to from Excel since in Excel I have a list of word documents. The order of the docs in this list determines the order in which they need to be merged. For example:

Excel's list range ("A1:A3"):
Cell A1: Important Papers
Cell A2: Resources
Cell A3: Something else

Related files:
H:\MergeDocs\Something else.docx
H:\MergeDocs\Important Papers.docx
H:\MergeDocs\Resources.docx

It would be great if Excel could look through range("A1:A3") and merge the docs in 'H:\MergeDocs' in the order that they appear in Excel. Is this even possible?
 
There's nothing in the code I've provided that would cause any of the errors you say you're getting. Did you try the alternative code?

Perhaps you have a faulty Office installation. Try repairing it (via Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair).
