View 5 RepliesI'm trying to write an Excel VBA macro that opens a .csv file, selects a range of cells, opens a new, blank Word document, and then pastes the cells into the Word document.
I can open .csv file.
I can open MS Word.
I can select and copy the cells in the .csv file.
I cannot figure out how to paste those cells into Word.
I want to set up a one step button in an Excel workbook to open up a Word Mailmerge Document that I have already set up complete with Excel data source. I have used this code so far but it's not working. What else do I have to do?

I have an excel program that is supposed to count word instances in a word document. I can't seem to find the right declaration for a word document.
For example to declare a workbook in excel its
Dim wb As Work Book
I've tried
Dim doc As Word.Document
'or
Dim doc As Word.Application
as shown in some of the forum posts, but an error user-type not defined keeps displaying.
Is it possible to export Excel cell contents to Word fields in a protected Word document? For example...
What code would be needed to tell Excel to open up, copy and export the contents of A2 in the active sheet of a workbook to "Field 2" in a Word document named "Report 01" and then put the contents of B2 to "Field 2" etc?
Do both applications have to be opened up at the same time or is Excel able to open up Word on its own? Will the macro be able to....
1. Automatically open up the correct Word document?
2. Look ONLY in a certain folder for the "Report 01" Word document?
or
Bring up a "selection" box that allows you to select the document you wish Excel to export it's data to?
3. Close and save the Word Document without any user intervention?
I have an excel worksheet which has a lot of comments attached to individual cells. Is there a way to convert these comments into a microsft word document along with the contents of the cells to identify where they originated? Also Is it possible to convert just a selection of cells into word document rather than the whole worksheet.

I need to covert a word document to excel.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that is pretty handy right now. I have a print button that automatically sends the doc to print with the specs I want, etc, etc. It has drop down lists, data validations, etc. What I want, and this may be impossible, is when the print button is clicked excel looks at a certain cell and based on the data in that cell, it pulls over a word document and prints that along with it.
In short, the items in the drop down list in the cell I have chosen have a different disclosure that goes with each, and I would like if possbile those to be printed from word...based on which item is picked....along with the spreadsheet when the print button is clicked.
I am working on a project where I am creating analysis using a subroutine in excel/vba and I would like to have the subroutine generate a report that is a word document. I have never used excel/vba to create and modify a word document and don't know how to approach it. I imagine that I will have a template.doc that I can access and save as another file. Does anyone have an example of creating and modify a word document in this manner.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just written up an SOP for a reconciliation process. Part of it requires the reader to use some Excel UDFs that I've created. Rather than having someone look for the UDF file on the network, I tried to embed it as an Excel Worksheet Icon within my procedure document. However, when I double-click the icon to launch the add-in, I get the following error message:
"Microsoft Word can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?" This does not happen when I embed a regular Excel workbook, or even a template.
I made some graphs in Excel and then copied them to a Word document. Everything seemed fine, but when I printed the document some graphs had a white square under the numbers and some hadn't. I can't find out where I can change this so that all of them would be without that white background under the numbers:

how can I change that so that all graphs will look the same (without that little squares behind the values).
I have a template document, created in MS Word. I want to generate, from Excel, a new document as would happen when you open the template from windows explorer or whatever ie. Template1.doc as opposed to Template.xlt.
The best I've managed to achieve is the opening of the template.
how to print an embedded Word document using VBA? I have tried using the macro recorder but only the cryptic code below is returned:
Sub Macro2()
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Object 3").Select
Selection.Verb Verb:=xlOpen

I have an Excel spreadsheet of data that I would like to export into tables in a new word document.
The code below (without the marked section) does this, but I can’t figure out how to create a second table after the first one.
Eventually I will use a For…Next loop to do this many times, but I’m trying to make the problem smaller by just making a second table.
Sub CreateNewWordDoc()
' add a reference to the Word-library
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim wrdTable As Word.Table
Dim xText
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add ' create a new document
Set wrdRange = wrdDoc.Range
wrdApp.Visible = True.........
I have a column for "Comments". Is there a way to make each cell work more like a word document? ie. paragraph formation, tabs, etc.

I'm trying to create Word documents (letters.doc) from Excel fields.
I already created bookmarks in Word and have the same Titles in A Row in Excel 2003 and I have tried the following threads:
Add bookmarks to Word from Excel Inserting data values from Excel into a Word doc using bookmarks
But I cannot manage it properly. I know that I need the code that goes on the lines of
Set WdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
rather than Set WdApp = New.Object
I cannot get Word to open a document! =(
It's basic letter creation, First_Name, 2_Name, Address_1, Address_2.. These have been bookmarked in Word and have exact same Titles in Columns A-D
I have been working on the following VBA code, which should copy specific charts from excel into specific places in a word-template.
I Am quite new with VBA, so I googled the code, changed a few things, and it works exactly as it should - except from one thing. When the Word-document is loaded from the template, I would like the document to be "saved as..."
Instead of just opening the template. I have tried
Code:
.ActiveDocument.SaveAs Filename:=fname & ".doc"
The code is as follows:
Option Explicit
Sub EksporterTilWord()
Dim appWrd As Object
Dim objDoc As Object
Dim FilePath As String
Dim FileName As String

I have an Excel spreadsheet that contains information for a Word document. It uses an elaborate macro to "substitute" unique codes in a starter document. At completion of the process, it goes through and delete all unused codes
The problem is that the codes are preceded by a "bullet" symbol.
How can I remove that orphaned bullet symbol. If the code is ". CtlCode10" (where the . is a bullet), then ALL need to be removed
I have been looking for a while for a code to copy cells A1:D23 on a sheet and open a Word Document and paste these onto a document and Save this as the name shown in Cell C1. Everything I see to find is over complicating what I need.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to copy parts of a worksheet from excel 2003 to word 2003. I've found code that does this alright but I need to be able to re-size the the pasted data to fit the word document. Is there a way to set the properties of the word document like change it to landscape and move the margins etc? Even a simple "reduce the table size to fit the word document". I've included the code i've got already. This code will open up a word document and copy your cells into it but without any useful options. So its ok for a small group of cells.

Below is my code, where I'm able to select the content of the first Page and paste it in the target folder, but not sure how to determine the number of pages in word using excel VBA.
Note: Copying the content should be done, page wise only.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been automating reports that will be generated in word documents for every company. The baseline is that I have a excel sheet which contain the data inputs and a word template document (template with bookmarks). I have written a macro that generate the reports when the user clicks the button but found that there some reports that generates empty bookmarks since there is no data for the corresponding bookmark. I have uploaded the excel sheets that has the full data and the setup sheets. The setup sheet has the Column Number, Bookmark Name, Description. The data sheet has the data values and the code info sheet has the name of the template doc and the name of the destination folder where the reports will be generated and stored. My requirement is to delete the empty bookmark from the report named "Blackberry". where to write the macro for deleting the empty bookmarks and its sentences (whether its in excel book or word template doc)?

The code opens a new document, pastes the text from the clipboard and then fails to run the wanted macro.
I am currently using MS Office Excel 2007 and my limited VBA knowledge has put me at a stop of a project that I have been working on. I am trying to create an excel template that will open every word document in a specific folder and pull data located in the title of the document.
For example, I want the spreadsheet to open every document and pull info from the title that would look similar to this:
"line of business";"policy #";"dollar amount";"name";"line of business" and etc.
The semicolons in the title would partition the data across a few cells.
Below is the coding that I currently have, This is my timestamp. Column A adds a timestamp whenever data is entered into the corresponding cell in Column B. Because of this, I need data to be pulled from Word documents and inserted into Column B.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Rng As Range
For Each Rng In Target
If Not Rng.Value = vbNullString Then
Select Case Rng.Column
[code]....
Below is some coding, but not very specified to my specific needs.
Sub SplitValue(Rng As Range)
Dim avarSplit As Variant
avarSplit = Split(Rng.Value, ";")
Range(Rng, Rng.Offset(, 4)).Value = avarSplit
If Left(Rng.Value, 2) = "RE" Or Left(Rng.Value, 2) = "FW" Then
[code]....
Also not sure if the word document is to be pulling information from the title, if I would need to negate ".doc" from data being imported.
I have a long bit of code that at one point saves a Word document and then saves it again with a new name and the old (legacy) .doc extension.
This all works find when the user is running Office 2007. However, it errors out for using Office 2010. The reference libraries are all correct (as far as I know).
Code:
Dim myDoc As Word.Document
Dim saveAsName as String
saveAsName = "some text here" + ".doc"
myDoc.Save
myDoc.SaveAs fileName:=(saveAsName), FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument
I want to take data from an Excel 2003 Worksheet as shown below:...
