macOS AppleScript for copy header from MSoft Word

[Avicenna]

Hi,
I am trying to copy header of one file to another exactly, including formatting, page number options etc...How can I do it? I tried this so far, but if I have the page number on the right side in test.docx, it doesn't carry over in newtest.docx.

How can I make it so it copies the formatting too? Here's the code so far:

tell application "Microsoft Word"
    activate
    open "Macintosh HD:test.docx"
    open "Macintosh HD:newtest.docx"
    set doc to document "Macintosh HD:test.docx"
    set doc2 to document "Macintosh HD:newtest.docx"

    set refHeader to content of text object of (get header of section 1 of doc index header footer primary)
    set content of text object of (get header of section 1 of doc2 index header footer primary) to refHeader
end tell

Thanks..

I don't know AppleScript. But have you tried doing this within Word using a VBA macro?
