Select some parts of text from one Word document and copy into another Word document - vba

Question

I have a word file with some spaces, for example:
Word File XXXXX
Title: XXXXX
etc
And I have another word file which have that data that is missing:
Word File 20248
Title: Example of word file
etc
My question is, how can I use vba to recognize the data from the first file to be copied into the second file in the spaces I want. Furthermore I'd prefer that you can select the word file you want with a dialog box rather than putting in the code where the file is located as I have different files that can have the location changed.
Thank you so much for your answers. I'm pretty new in vba and I have never used it on word.
By now I have this code to choose the word file from which I want to copy the data:
Sub CopyData()
Dim DC As Document
Dim wD As Document, strD As String, wDNumb As Variant
Dim I As Long
Set wD = ActiveDocument
DSelection:
For I = 1 To Documents.Count
strD = strD & Documents(I).Name & " - " & I & vbCrLf
Next I
wDNumb = InputBox("Please, choose the number of the word file from which you are choosing the data to copy:" & vbCrLf & _
vbCrLf & strD, "Choose the word document from which you are copying the data!", 1)
If wDNumb <= Documents.Count And wDNumb >= 1 Then
GoTo DSelection2
ElseIf wDNumb = "" Then MsgBox "Operation cancelled", vbCritical, "Cancelled"
Exit Sub
ElseIf wDNumb > Documents.Count Or wDNumb < 1 Then MsgBox "Wrong number, input a correct number", vbExclamation, "Wrong number"
Exit Sub
End If
DSelection2:
If IsNumeric(wDNumb) Then
Set DC = Documents(CLng(wDNumb))
Else
MsgBox "Please choose the number on the right of the document chosen!": GoTo DSelection
End If
End Sub
I have the following part of the code to copy some part of the Word to the other using bookmarks:
DC.Activate
Set Rng = DC.Range
With Rng.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Execute FindText:="TITLE:", Forward:=True, _
Format:=False, Wrap:=wdFindStop
Fnd = .Found
End With
If Fnd = True Then
With Rng
.MoveStart wdCharacter, 10
.MoveEnd wdSentence, 1
End With
End If
Rng.Select
Selection.Copy
wD.Activate
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="TITLE"
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Paste

There are multiple possible ways of approaching this, but your problem description lacks sufficient detail. For example, one could insert:
bookmarks;
content controls;
Section breaks;
tables;
etc.,
into the target document so that content from the source document can be inserted there.
Alternatively, one might use Find/Replace to locate a predefined string that can be replaced with the desired content.
With your updated problem description, you might use:
Dim RngDC As Range, wDRng As Range, BkMkNm As String
BkMkNm "TITLE"
With DC
With .Range.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Execute FindText:=BkMkNm, Forward:=True, Format:=False, Wrap:=wdFindStop
End With
If .Found = True Then
.MoveStart wdCharacter, 10
.MoveEnd wdSentence, 1
Set RngDC = .Duplicate
End If
End With
With wD
Set wDRng = .Bookmarks(BkMkNm).Range
wDRng.FormattedText = RngDC.FormattedText
.Bookmarks.Add BkMkNm, wDRng
End With
