concatenating files-found the problem with popups
Hi Karl,
Not sure I understand the exact problem. It's just that the Fillin fields
aren't prompting after you've copied/pasted? Have you sent a command to UDPATE
(Aktualisierung) the fields? The prompts will only display when the fields are
updated... Using the File/New command to create a new document from a template
does this as part of the process (the .Add you refer to?), but otherwise it is
NOT automatic.
As to the second part of your question, I generally prefer the InsertFile
command rather than copy/paste for two reasons: 1) I don't have to explicitly
open the files; 2) I don't have to use the Clipboard.
