I am wondering how to copy a google doc, but include the style, links and font, from within google scripts. I have tried to use the getBody()
DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody().clear() document2 = DocumentApp.openById("Document_ID").getBody().getText() DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody().appendParagraph(document2) But that only copies that raw text.
EDIT: Removed documents because the question was solved
Your problem is that getText will only return the raw text, nothing more. Treat them as objects instead, iterate, then append one by one.
function appendContents() { var source = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody(); var destination = DocumentApp.openById("DOC ID"); var numElements = source.getNumChildren(); for (var i = 0; i < numElements; ++i ) { var body = destination.getBody() var element = source.getChild(i).copy(); var type = element.getType(); if( type == DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH ){ body.appendParagraph(element); } // Add other element types if you are expecting other elements // e.g. LIST_ITEM, TEXT, TABLE // Note that different append will be used for each element type. } destination.saveAndClose(); } If you want to add other element types, see list of available ElementTypes
