Hello monks,

I trying to copy data from one doc file and paste it at top of another doc file with separator like "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", I have two doc files.

first doc(copyfrom.doc) contain a small table while in another doc(copyto.doc) contain a paragraph.

So the logic is copy table from copyfrom.doc and paste at top with separator in copyto.doc

use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';
use strict;
my $File1 = "D:\\Copyfrom1.doc";
my $File2   = "D:\\copyfrom2.doc";

my $Word = new Win32::OLE 'Word.Application', 'Quit';
$Word->{'Visible'}=1;
$Word->Documents->open( $File1)
  or die "Unable to open $File1", Win32::OLE->LastError();
$sep = "\n\n\nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n\n\n";
my $text = $Word->ActiveDocument->Content->InsertAfter({Text => $sep})
+;
$text = $Word->ActiveDocument->Content->Text;
$Word->ActiveDocument->Close;

$Word->Documents->open( $File2)
  or die "Unable to open $File2", Win32::OLE->LastError();
$Word->ActiveDocument->Content->InsertBefore({ Text => $text });
$Word->ActiveDocument->SaveAs('D:\\Merge.doc');
$Word->ActiveDocument->Close;
