I have a code which selects a range within my spreadsheet, copies it and then pastes it into word. The only thing I can't work out is how to get it to then return to the Excel Spreadsheet that I have open.
Sub SetPrintcopy() Dim appWord As Word.Application Set appWord = New Word.Application appWord.Visible = True ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$F$398" Range("A1:F398").Copy appWord.Documents.Add.Content.Paste End Sub
I'm having trouble trying to come up with a way to insert data fields into a spreadsheet form. I have a travel authorization form that I would like to have automatically fill in the required fields based on typing in a name. i.e. I would type in an employees name, and it would automatically fill-in the correct address, etc for that employee. I have attached a spreadsheet that contains one sheet as the form, and another sheet containing the employee data. I know nothing about VBA, but I have a feeling that is where I need to go.
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?
What I am trying to do is to automate a copy-and-paste situation for literally a few thousand items. I am creating .xml files for a scenery builder library for MS Flight Simulator, and unfortunately there isn't an application specifically for FS scenery that will import the data I have and export it into the format I need. In other words, I need to create a form in Excel into which I can automate the importation of data from text files (such as in the first example below) to populate fields (as in the second example), and later create a new text file from the compiled data.
This is an example of the format of the data I need to import:

Any way to export information from an Excel spreadsheet and import it into the IPTC / EXIF files of images? (e.g. there will be an image called 12345.jpg, and in the spreadsheet there will be the number 12345.jpg and some caption, keyword etc. data to import.
I have an Excel spreadsheet that where the headings start in row 5. Data starts in row 6.
The spreadsheet is updated frequently. The headings are always the same but the number of lines of data changes.
D5 = Units1 (field contains numbers or is blank) E5 = Units2 (Field contains numbers or is blank)
I would like to insert a column to the right of Column E and add D + E in the inserted cell. I would like F5 to be called NewUnits.
Some cells in Columns D and E are blank. No cell in Column A is blank. (If cell A6 is the activecell and you press CTRL + Down Arrow Key -- you will get to the last cell with data in Col A. That is not the case if the activecell was E6 as there are blanks.)
I've took on a task that I stupidly volunteered myself for since no one else will.. including our development or IT team will seem to get completed.
Here's my dilemma: User has information in Word that needs to go to XL WorkSheet. It has been formatted with tabs so that the information is copy and pasted into individual cells. To avoid human error, I want XL to open with a fresh workbook so that the information can be pasted into it with the Macro being run from Word.
I've searched everywhere to look for code to open XL up from Word and cannot find anything.
Will it be possible to open a new workbook and paste that information all with a macro from Word? Or will I need to trigger a macro in an already saved workbook?
I have a workbook with about 8 sheets that is used for pricing vehicles with options.
On the first sheet is the list of about 40 vehicles. I would like to insert a command that IF the quantity of vehicle X = 1 (all others would be blank) then insert a MS Word document that contains the proposal.
The MS Word document could be a worksheet if necessary.
I attached a file with macro7 that prompts the user for text that will get rotated and inserted into the top left corner. The text is in the form "batch xxxx." I need a carriage return between the word "batch" and the numeric string. I guess the input box should have two lines instead of one.
the code does some other stuff which is why it takes a while to execute ....
I have a simple AVG formula and I would like to insert the word "minutes" after the result. I cant get it to work .... i know this is simple, but I am drawing a blank!
Our client uses an Excel spreadsheet that we provide to adjudicate/comment on our delivered products (primarily documents and reports). The spreadsheet has columns for:
At the end of the process of client meetings and revisions, we must generate an MS Word-formatted report. I've written a macro to parse the comments and columns and generate a mostly-formatted Word document. What's missing are the corporate headers, footers, logos -- the standard template or basic document stuff that all of the details would fill in. For now, I auto-gen a Word document and merge it by hand into the corporate template.
So my question is: if I want to "include" a corporate Word template with the spreadsheet, can I bundle it with the workbook somehow or must it always remain a separate file?
My current thinking is that since a *.xlsm file is really a ZIP file underneath, could I store the Word template there where it would effectively be hidden from the user? Or what is the best way to bundle an extra file like this with my workbook app?
I need to open a blank word doc, paste a spreadsheet onto it, format it and filter out some keywords. All from excel of course.
1) Access the internet web page - done 2) Open the excel ss - done 3) Open word - not done 4) Paste the ss onto word - not done 5) Format the doc - not done 6) Filter out rows containing keywords - not done
Just to get started I tried this code to open an existing word doc but it doesn't work
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open("C:BShift.doc") End Sub
It says file cannot be found. There is a file there named BShift in word 2010.
know a simple code that I can use in Excel VBA to simply check if Microsoft Word is open or not? I'm not worried about checking for a specific document, but just if the application is running or not.
not sure why this is not working, it is from Access I know this is the wrong forum but figured I haven't got any answers from anywhere else and it seems like a simple fix
this command fails... i am guessing its to do with the file path having spaces but don't know how to get it to work, what to insert so it will work.

I would like to open a word file in my Excel VBA code. The word document has its own VBA code that will run when Excel opens it. I do not need to move any data around I just want Excel to open my word doc.
I had copied a macro from this forum [it was posted by either shg or NBVC], and I modified it to fit my needs. The macro creates a new word document and sends a series of cells from an excel worksheet column to this word file. Everything works fine, but now I need to insert a picture after row 14. I have inserted the code [colored red], but I am sure the syntax or something isn't right. That part doesn't work.
I'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 would like to be able to add vb code to my developing macro that searches within 1 column for the last instance of a particular word, then inserts a blank row under that word. All the data is sorted, so the words will be used multiple times, but I need the row to go under the last instance of each word in the column.
Dim objX As OLEObject Set objX = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Word.Document.8", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False) objX.Border.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255) objX.Height = 200 objX.Width = 600 objX.Top = 300 objX.Left = 100 '-------make active objX.Activate Set objX = Nothing
i would like to place the object in a worksheet and have all the rows of data move down below the word object (i.e., below the word object--i do this resizing manually now...)...?
I want to pull data from my excel file (using VBA) into Ms Word. I created a template in Word and wrote a macro to do this, it worked, however, anytime a new row is inserted or deleted in my excel spreadsheet my macro produces wrong results in my Ms Word template because the cell position has shifted, thereby producing the wrong result. How do i make it that my result remain the same when new row is added to my spreadsheet.
Example: Excel row1: vicky 528 row2: sam 532 row3: john 092 row4: Own 211 word template: 092
This is what happen next:
Excel (New row added) Macro: ThisDocument.ScreenedPatients.Caption = wb.Sheets("CSAs").Cells(16, 1)
row1: pat 542 row2: vicky 528 row3: sam 532 row4: john 092 row5: Own 211 resulting Word template(running macro): word template: 532
But I want John to automatically go on the Word template without going into macro to change it all the time when a new row is added.
I would like to use a vba procedure/procedures to achieve the following: I have a folder with many Word2003 forms in and I want to save just the data from each form and then import the data into an Excel spreadsheet.
Currently I am opening each .doc file in turn, saving just the data to a new plain text (comma separated file) in a different folder and am unable code searching that folder for all the text files and importing them into the spreadsheet. I have a two part question to my current approach:
1) I am 99% there with the first part (opening and converting the forms) with the following code having followed advice from another thread but I need Word open and not showing an open document. Is it possible to add code to take care of opening Word in the background and close it again after so the process is fully automated?:
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.
Basically I have manually generated word documents based on a spreadsheet. Now, I need to countercheck the contents of the word documents with another spreadsheet i.e. make sure the courses in the word document for a particular student is same as that reflected on the spread sheet. Is it possible to write a macro for this? I'm a beginner and I'm waaay out of my depth. I have attached sample documents and spreadsheets.
