Populate Excel Cells With Specific Text From Word Document
Jul 22, 2014
Let me start by stating that I am a novice at writing macro script. I am trying to write a script that will open and search a Word doc, find specific text in that document, and populate certain excel cells with that information.
Ex. of Word doc:
5.1.2.3 Install gasket [12], using bolt [5] and nut [8].
5.1.2.4 Uninstall gasket [12] and scrap gasket and fasteners.
I would like the script to search for and populate any number between the [ ] into a specific excel cell, also I would like it to identify and populate an excell cell with the associated step, e.g.: "5.1.2.3", which will be at the begining of that step (step could be several sentences long). Also, I would like the script to look for and identify/populate an excel cell with any number of words such as: "install", "uninstall", "break", "scrap", or "remove" also associated with that step.

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 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'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.

I'm trying to copy the content of a word document (File A) to another (File B) using Excel VBA. File A has about 100's of pages (not sure of the number as it varies) and this needs to be split to different files, each having 15 Pages.
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.

If possible could someone please tell me why the below code is not calling the normal.doc macro "testy" and any solutions.
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

Part of my work involves the transfer of thousands of lines of Excel data into FileMaker and then exporting this data to Word where it is finally formatted for publication. What I'd ideally like is to skip the FileMaker step and simply have it so that I import all the data from my Excel file into a Word document in one swoop. The problem is that the eventual export can't feature tables, it would be the icing on the cake for the data to remain as formatted, and the data needs to read line<space>line<space>, vertically.
Essentially, I need to know how to take this from Excel ..

And turn it into this in Word ...

Currently I am going back and forth between an excel document and a word document cutting and pasting values from the excel spreadsheet into tables in word. The task is a regular occurance therefore I wish to create a Macro that can automate this procedure. Both the excel and word documents are fixed templates therefore once a Macro is created it can be applied to all future work of similar nature.
Each table in the word document contains 6 rows of values in a single column. The excel data is arranged in a table that is 6 rows by x number of columns (how ever many sets of values there are for the particular job) therefore x determines how many tables must exist in the word document. I move between the excel and word document cutting and pasting each column into each table. This is not so time consuming if x=10 however on occasion x=100+ and it does take time.

I'm trying to get certain Excel cells (varies by column and row) to populate different areas in a Word document. I've tried using both Word bookmarks and form fields and have defined the Excel names with the Word bookmark names as well as using Word's generic terms (Field1, Field2, etc.) with no luck. The VBA code I'm using now is for word forms and will open the Word document but seems to delete the form fields. I don't know if I'm not coding the cells correctly or what.
Sub CreateProposal()
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

I have a macro set up in Excel that formats and deletes rows matching a citeria. Once the macro runs I then manually copy the data across into Word. I would like to automate this.
I would like the macro to copy over any cells containing data iinto a new word document. I also have standard text that I would like to include at the beginning and end of the word document. With the excel data being placed in the centre.
I have searched the web and tried a couple of macros with no luck. All the macros state "' requires a reference to the Word Object library: ' in the VBE select Tools, References and check the Microsoft Word X.X object library"
I am unsure how to reference this - but I have checked and found that the object library ticked is Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library.

I need to generate a microsoft word document from the data encoded in my excel spreadsheet. I am currently using MS office 2007.
in the Excel Spreadsheet from columns C to F "a) b) c) d)" was not typed but in the word document it automatically appears before the choices encoded in excel. Another thing is that some of the choices typed in the excel spreadsheet are in bold font and I want it to be generated in word document with the bold font as well.
By the way I am planning to use this technique to create a 100 item multiple choice exam for my students as I find using EXCEL to generate the document a lot easier than creating the test manually in WORD.

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 a simple excel sheet with columns A (name1) B (name2) C (name3) D (name4) E (name5) F (text). A given name can only appear once in any given row.
I am looking for a vba code (Excel 2003) that would loop through cells in A1:E?? (number of rows varies, loop needs to find last non-empty row in column A) and look for a particular name (e.g. "Stefan Thomas"):
1) create new unnamed word doc
2) Put "New Annex" as a header (top right) in the new word doc
3) Insert text "List for Stefan Thomas" centered and underlined as the first line of the new word doc. The document will have two sections:
4) Insert text "Items in Column A" bolded and aligned to the left
5) Insert text "Items in Column B to E" bolded and aligned to the left below the section in 4
6) if "Stefan Thomas" is in column A, copy text in column F and paste in word doc as first bullet (below title "Items in Column A")
7) repeat step 6 for all other instances of "Stefan Thomas" in column A (append text as next bullet in section "Items in Column A")
8) If "Stefan Thomas" is in column B or C or D or E (can only appear once per row), copy text in column F and paste in word doc as first bullet (below title "Items in Column B to E")
9) repeat step 8 for all other instances of "Stefan Thomas" in column B or C or D or E (append text as next bullet in section "Items in Column B to E")
if you could indicate in the code how I can choose the type of bullet as well as space between bullets and font type

Here is what i am trying to achieve. If the date 2/20/2010 is located at F53 & the cell next to it at H53 is populated with a number between 1 & 16, then i want the cell at J11 (42 rows further up) to auto populate with the number 1. When this occurs the cells beneath this, from J12 to J52 should also auto populate with the with consecutive numbers from 2 to 42. Would also like to see the cells with numbers 1 to 28, automatically format to orange & the cells containing numbers 29 to 42 automatically format to yellow. I plan to have this condition repeat several times later in the year, at dates that are to be decided. When these dates are decided i want to be able to enter a number from 1 to 16 & next to the date & all of the above automatically occurs.

I have a word template that gives a popup when started for the user to fill out. At present this is okay, but it is hard to maintain. So what I want is to be able to add all needed information in Excel - since our tools have the possibility to export my needed info to this.
I have a spreadsheet in Excel 2010 named 'Input TR'. This info I want in the popup macro in word. When choosing name from a dropdown menu - I want Excel to give me the choices instead of having it in the coded macro. After I have choosen the name - I want the product belonging for this name in the 'Product/Service:' dropdown menu, e.g Test 1 will give the value 1...5. (I will only be able to choose one of them)
Today - everything is coded in the word2010 macro, and thus difficult to maintain.

How many apples did he buy? 8
How much did the apples cost? 50
In Word: John is in cell b2, 8 is in b3, 50 is in cell b4
John bought 8 apples totaling $ 50 dollars.
Based on the information typed in the answer column (excel spreadsheet) I would want a word document to automatically generate a sentence.
