Using DocIO to copy sections between word docs.

Question

Hi, is it possible to copy the header and footer sections from one Word document and insert them into the first page of another existing document?

So effectively using the first Word document as a reusable template for other documents that want the same header and footer look.

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks
