Reading data from a word file and opening the file with the data

[xips]

I have a word document which contains file names (1 per line)

I want to use word macro to open that doc, pick the contents on line 1 and open the file from a specific path, edit the file and close it.

I want to read the next file name from the next line and do the above for all the lines in the document.

Have you attempted this at all?

Which part are you stuck with..?

James,
I opened the word file and copied the contents.

I need to know how to copy it to a variable?

See if this example helps.

Usage
[code=vbnet]
dim a as string = Readfile(a)
[/code]

[code=vbnet]
Function Readfile(ByVal abc)
Dim EntireLine As String
Dim oFile As System.IO.File
Dim oRead As System.IO.Strea mReader
oRead = oFile.OpenText( "C:\PasswordUpd ate.doc")
EntireLine = oRead.ReadToEnd
oRead.Close()
Return EntireLine
End Function
[/code]

James,

I have used Selection.copy to copy a filename in Word macro.

Can I copy it to a variable?

Then I should be able to open a file which using the content of the variable instead of using the actual file name directly.
