Copying text from Word to Excel with VBA

[rbwallis]

Hello, here I am on my continued journey to paste copied data from Word to Excel. In my latest version of the code, The data is copied, but Excel opens two files (Book1 and Book2) and pastes the info in both windows. I have pored over the code, but I can't figure out what is causing the second file to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob
Here is my current code:

Sub ExportwordtoexcelNew()
    Dim wordDoc As Object
    Dim oXL As Excel.Application
    Dim DocTarget As Word.Document
    Dim Target As Excel.Workbook
    Dim tSheet As Excel.Worksheet
    Dim ExcelWasNotRunning As Boolean
    

Dim YesOrNoAnswerToMessageBox As String
Dim QuestionToMessageBox As String
    QuestionToMessageBox = "Do you want Excel to open and paste your selection?"
    YesOrNoAnswerToMessageBox = MsgBox(QuestionToMessageBox, vbYesNo, "QuikBots for Word")
    If YesOrNoAnswerToMessageBox = vbYes Then
    
Set wordDoc = GetObject(, "word.application")
wordDoc.Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Copy


'If Excel is running, get a handle on it; otherwise start a new instance of Excel
On Error Resume Next
Set oXL = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")



'Install Add-ins
If Err Then
     ExcelWasNotRunning = True
     Set oXL = New Excel.Application
   
    For Each oAddIn In oXL.AddIns
        With oAddIn
            If .Installed Then
                .Installed = False
                .Installed = True
            End If
        End With
    Next oAddIn
End If

oXL.Visible = True


Set Target = oXL.Workbooks.Add
Set tSheet = Target.Sheets(1)
tSheet.Paste

    Else
    End If
Set oXL = Nothing
End Sub

try the set target = oxl.workbooks.add

see if opening the application means that it already has a workbook open

> Set wordDoc = GetObject(, "word.application")
> wordDoc.Selection.WholeStory
> Selection.Copy


you copy the excel range of book1


try1:
Set wordDoc = GetObject(, "word.application")
wordDoc.Selection.WholeStory
wordDoc.Selection.Copy


or


try2:
Set wordDoc = GetObject(, "word.application")
wordDoc.activedocument.Range.Copy

Option Explicit


Sub test()
    Dim wordDoc As Object


    Set wordDoc = GetObject(, "word.application")
    wordDoc.activedocument.Range.Copy
         
    ActiveSheet.Paste
 
End Sub

Does this work?

My comment before is based on:
1, you open an excel workbook
2, you set target to excel(oxl).worbooks.add, and (assuming I do understand this), create a new workbook in the process of setting this object
