Find + Replace All with data from clipboard

Tags: vba, replace, word, find, clipboard
Background: I got stuck helping someone here at work out with a *huge* RFP document. What I have is about 25 pages of questions that will require a response from potential vendors. The VM template requires a separate text box for each response, some text that indicates whether or not the response is continued in an appendix and another text box to indicate a Y/N for the appendix question.

Mission: The questions are in a numbered outline, so I need to find a paragraph mark in level H2 (Find: "^p" , Style: "H2") and replace it with the data that is on the clipboard (the 2 text boxes and the short text). There's about 250 questions and I don't want to do this manually. The find/replace that is generic to word doesn't allow to replace with the clipboard contents. I'm not familiar with the WORD VBA object whatsoever.

I need this ASAP (meeting with EVP's tomorrow) so I maxed out the points.

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.
