copy data from excel to word without mail merge

[ferret]

Hi all, thanks for the help you have given me so far as a guest...much appreciated. I'm still on the steep learning curve for vba and am trying to take a step further.

I have an excel spreadsheet with data in small range of cells (c2:d7) [I have tried keeping all range references the same but still have the problem]. I want to transfer that data into an existing word document keeping it's 'table' layout, and save the document using a new file name and location.

So far, my journey has taught me how to open the word document. I have looked at a few of the scripts you have already posted to eg paste the cells as a inline object, or cross reference from named cells to bookmarks. I can see the logic being followed but my scripts are falling over at the same place... I open the document, grab the data from the spreadsheet and get a 5941 error when I try to insert it into word.

I have ensured that there is a reference to the Microsoft Office 14 word object library... but I don't understand about 'objects'
For instance I have tried this code from another thread [vba]'Open the word document
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wdApp.Documents.Open openthisfile
wdApp.Visible = True

'copy cells
Worksheets(1).Range("c2:d7").Select
Selection.Copy
'insert cells

wdApp.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).Activate
Range("A1:B6").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
[/vba]

'openthisfile' is a string variable which sets the filepath and it opens ok
it falls over 4 lines from the end;

wdApp.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).Activate

which is highlighted with the error when I debug...

Your help will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Why are you selecting an inlineshape? What if it does not exist?

Here is an example. Obviously, you need to change the bookmark and doc names.
[VBA]Sub CopytoWord()
'Requires Tools > References > Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
Dim wddoc As Word.Document
Dim doc As String

doc = "x:\msword\MyFile.doc"
If Dir(doc) = "" Then
MsgBox "Error, file does not exist." & vbLf & doc, vbCritical, "File is Missing"
Exit Sub
End If

On Error GoTo errorHandler

Set wdApp = New Word.Application

With wdApp
'Add makes a copy like from a template even though it may be a DOC file.
Set wddoc = .Documents.Add(Template:=doc)
'Set wdDoc = .Documents.Open(doc)
.Visible = True
End With

With wddoc.Bookmarks
.Item("testbm").Range.InsertAfter Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
End With

errorExit:
Set wddoc = Nothing
Set wdApp = Nothing

Exit Sub

errorHandler:
MsgBox "Unexpected error: " & Err.Number & vbLf & Err.Description
Resume errorExit

End Sub
[/VBA]
