In Excel 2000, I can write a Word document without a problem. However, my
code to write the doc is in a separate routine. I need to enter this routine
several times to print any errors found in my editing. The first time in I
can create the Word object, write the headings, write the error msg (even
create a footer). The second time in (all subsequent times), I can bypass
the 'create the word object' and bypass the writing of the header. BUT, the
new error message does not write. Do I need to reestablish the connection to
the word object? Or what else can be wrong?

Thanks
