Hi,

I have an invitation letter that looks like this
---------------------------------------------------------------
To,
Mr. James Bond

Subject: Invitation letter

Dear Sir,

You are invited...

Regards,

----------------------------------------------------------------

On the second page I have a list of names that looks like this

---------------------------------------------------------------
Babar Noor
Asad Masood
Mehmood Raza
Batman
Spiderman
----------------------------------------------------------------

I want to create a macro that copies names from the second page, one
at a time and paste it on the first page just beneath the "To," field.

Can anyone please guide me on how to create this macro?
Thanks

Is this some sort of mail merge you have planned? If so create a data file
from the second page
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels_into_mail_merge.htm and merge into the
first page.

If not, what is the point of adding the names one at a time? You could, if
you can identify the names from whatever else may be on the second page,
grab the lot and paste them, so why a macro? It would be quicker to cut and
paste?

Thanks for the early reply

The objective is to print invitation letters to each individual whose
name I will write line by line in the second page. The names could be
100 or so. The complete steps are as follows:
-Copy first name
-Paste it beneath "To,"
-Print the first page.
-Copy second name
.....
and so on.

Create the list first and use mail merge to create the letters. The list
would best be employed as a Word table - see the layout in the link I
posted.
