VBA Copy-paste problem

I have the same problem

Code:

---

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
            With Selection.Find
                .Text = "[#$]"
                .Replacement.Text = ""
                .Forward = True
                .Wrap = wdFindContinue
                .Format = False
                .MatchCase = False
                .MatchWholeWord = False
                .MatchWildcards = False
                .MatchSoundsLike = False
                .MatchAllWordForms = False
            End With
            Selection.Find.Execute
            Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine
            Selection.TypeParagraph
            Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
'            Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
            Selection.Paste

---

The error appens at the line Selection.Paste, after Debug if i continue the ends regularly

the pasted object is a row in a table

Thanks for your help

Having tested your code it appears to find the first occurrence of the [#$] text in a cell, and copies that text to a new paragraph at the start of the cell. I would need to see an example of the table before establishing what the problem you are having is.

If you simply want to insert a new row above the row with the found text then

Code:

---

Sub Macro1()
Dim oTable As Table
Dim oRng As Range
Dim oRow As Row, oNewRow As Row
Dim oCell As Range, oNewcell As Range
Dim i As Integer
Const strFind As String = "[#$]"
    Set oTable = Selection.Tables(1)
    Set oRng = oTable.Range
    With oRng.Find
        Do While .Execute(FindText:=strFind)
            Set oRow = oRng.Rows(1)
            Set oNewRow = oTable.Rows.Add(oRow)
            'if you want to include the content of the cells in the new row then
            For i = 1 To oRow.Cells.Count
                Set oCell = oRow.Cells(i).Range
                oCell.End = oCell.End - 1
                Set oNewcell = oNewRow.Cells(i).Range
                oNewcell.End = oNewcell.End - 1
                oNewcell.FormattedText = oCell.FormattedText
            Next i
            'end of cell content
            Exit Do
        Loop
    End With
lbl_Exit:
    Set oTable = Nothing
    Set oRow = Nothing
    Set oNewRow = Nothing
    Set oCell = Nothing
    Set oNewcell = Nothing
    Set oRng = Nothing
    Exit Sub
End Sub

Hi Graham,

I have a row table with 5 column and i the line above that row the text [#$] as a tag, I copy the line with its contents, then I would like to add under a new line and paste what I have copiedAttachment 23623
thanks for support

Looking at your image, the tag does not appear to be in the table and it looks as though there could another table below the tag. You have not posted enough of the document to judge.

From your description it is difficult to understand what you want to copy (presumably the last row of that table above the tag) or where you want that row to be placed with respect to the tag. Do you simply want to add a row to the table above the tag and fill it with the content of the previous row?

Hi
I have a word template with a table with 1 row and 5 columns in the cells I have tags that I want to replace with the data read in a text file. The macro as first operation copies the table row and its tags (puts it in the clipboard) then starts reading the text file and replaces the tags of the first row, finished the first row, I move below and add (paste) the row copied to previously. The off-table tag was just a test Selection.Paste command and Selection.PasteAppendTable command both return (Command not available).

Regards
Marzio

Hi

        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
    Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
    Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
    Selection.Copy
    Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
    Selection.PasteAppendTable
End Sub
