The following code example uses the Merge method to merge the changes marked with revision marks in Sales2.docx into the document associated with the current project. This example assumes that the file Sales2.docx exists on the current computer in the folder C:\Docs. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

Private Sub DocumentMerge()
    Me.Merge("C:\Docs\Sales2.docx", _
        MergeTarget:=Word.WdMergeTarget.wdMergeTargetCurrent, _
        DetectFormatChanges:=True, _
        UseFormattingFrom:=Word.WdUseFormattingFrom.wdFormattingFromCurrent, _
        AddToRecentFiles:=True)
End Sub

private void DocumentMerge()
{
    object MergeTarget = Word.WdMergeTarget.wdMergeTargetCurrent;
    object DetectFormatChanges = true;
    object UseFormattingFrom = 
        Word.WdUseFormattingFrom.wdFormattingFromCurrent;
    object AddToRecentFiles = true;

    this.Merge("C:\\Docs\\Sales2.docx", ref MergeTarget,
        ref DetectFormatChanges, ref UseFormattingFrom,
