Is there a way to record a macro that will highlight a range of text, copy
the range, and paste it onto the top of the first page?
I get "email alerts" containing new article abstracts from relevant public
health research, sometimes over a hundred pages long, but there's never a
table of contents. So I've been going through all of them, copying the
titles of the articles, and pasting them to the top to allow senior faculty
members at Hunter College a more user-friendly way to glean this
information.
Here's an example of the format:
TITLE: Model-based estimates of HIV acquisition due to prison
> rape (Article, English)
> AUTHOR: Pinkerton, SD; Galletly, CL; Seal, DW
> SOURCE: PRISON JOURNAL 87 (3). SEP 2007. p.295-310 SAGE
> PUBLICATIONS INC, THOUSAND OAKS
>
> ABSTRACT: Nearly 1.4 million men are incarcerated in federal and
> state prisons in the United States. These men are disproportionately
> affected by HIV in comparison with the at-large male population. The
> elevated prevalence of HIV infection in U.S. prisons has raised concerns
> over the potential for intraprison HIV transmission due to rape and other
> forms of sexual victimization. However, the number of men who acquire HIV
> after being raped in U.S. prisons is not known. We developed a
> mathematical model of HIV transmission to estimate the likelihood that an
> incarcerated man would become infected as a result of prison rape and to
> provide preliminary estimates of the number of prison rape victims who
> acquire HIV. Our results suggest that between 43 and 93 currently
> incarcerated men already have or will acquire HIV as a result of being
> raped in prison.

> TITLE: Bronchial responsiveness to methacholine and adenosine 5
> '-monophosphate in young children with asthma: their
> relationship with
> blood eosinophils and serum eosinophil cationic protein
> (Article, English)
> AUTHOR: Choi, SH; Kim, DK; Yu, J; Yoo, Y; Koh, YY
> SOURCE: ALLERGY 62 (10). OCT 2007. p.1119-1124 BLACKWELL
> PUBLISHING, OXFORD
>
> ABSTRACT: Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a characteristic feature
> of asthma, and is usually measured by bronchial challenges using direct
> or indirect stimuli. Blood eosinophil numbers and serum levels of

> whether bronchial responsiveness to adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) is
> more closely associated with blood eosinophil markers, compared with that
> to methacholine, in young children with asthma.
>
> Our results suggest that bronchial responsiveness to AMP is more closely

> support the potential usefulness of AMP challenges in detecting
> inflammatory changes in young children with asthma.

> TITLE: The polymorphisms of Eotaxin 1 and CCR3 genes influence

> SOURCE: ALLERGY 62 (10). OCT 2007. p.1125-1130 BLACKWELL

The highlighted titles are all I wish to extract, often from very long
documents (100+ pages).
So in theory, I'd like to record a type of "find and copy/paste" macro,
where it searches for any text between "TITLE:" and stops one character
before the A in "AUTHOR," copies that text, and appends it somewhere else
(either the top/bottom of the word doc, a new word doc, or some other
textfile).
This would save me *lots* of time, which is what PCs are supposed to do. If
only I had the knowledge...I'm familiar with recording actions in Photoshop,
but more advanced script gets very confusing. Is this possible? Any help
or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
