Excel VBA : how to merge cells in winword table with for... next

[justuptou]

Under Excel VBA operating, I have to merge the cells in winword table with For ... Next function.
but system error code was shown '5941' when run "Rng.Cells.Merge", I cannot fixed the problem,
Could anyone guide me to modify that, thank you very much.

Error Message :

Run-time error '5941':
The requested member of the collection does not exist.

Target : Cells(1,1 & 2,1).Merge, Cells(1,2 & 2,2).Merge, Cells(1,3 & 2,3).Merge &
Cells(1,5 & 2,5).Merge, Cells(1,6 & 2,6).Merge

Figure : Winword Table below

1,1	1,2	1,3	1,4	1,5	1,6
2,1	2,2	2,3	2,4	2,5	2,6

Coding :

Sub mergeCellinTable()

Dim ObjWord
Set ObjWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

Dim objDoc
Set objDoc = ObjWord.Documents.Add

ObjWord.Visible = True

objDoc.Activate

With ObjWord

Dim Table1

Set Table1 = objDoc.tables.Add(Range:=objDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.Range, _

NumRows:=6, _

NumColumns:=6, _
DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord8TableBehavior)


Dim Rng

For I = 1 To 6
If I <> 4 Then

With objDoc.tables(1)

Set Rng = .Cell(1, I).Range

Rng.End = .Cell(2, I).Range.End

Rng.Cells.Merge

Rng.Text = "Merged Column Cells"

End With

End If

Next I
End With

End Sub

    End If
  Next I
End With
End Sub

Thanks for your help, your coding is work. but the error code : 424 was shown when I add them into my master Function.

Error Coding : .cell(K, I).Merge MergeTo:=.cell(K + 1, I)
Error Code : Run error code 424 Object Required

…but what's the value of J in K = (J - 1) * 2 + 1

[justuptou]

P45cal, J and K are integer (row number) and control the data copy to correct row in winword table.

Target :
Copy data(1) to first row
If data(1,4) is false then
Second row is no information
End if

Copy data(2) to third row
If data(2,4) is true then
Copy Data(2,4) to forth row
Fifth row is no information
End if

Copy data(3) to sixth row

I m not familiar to use the excel source to control winword but I need to learn and understand it, thanks

[p45cal]

Yes, but what is the VALUE of J at that point?
Step through the code with F8 on the keyboard, and when you get to that line, hover over J with your mouse; it may show its value (if it's a global variable) or, as I suspect, it may say =Empty or some such.

Did you solve this one?
(I see you've posted a new different thread since I replied.)

[justuptou]

Solved, thank you very much.

The problem is variable of table name, I found it when I checked global variable in each step.

thank you.

P.S. but I m new bird, I don't know how to set "Solved" in this forum, thanks again.
