I threw together a macro in Word 2007 yesterday, but it kept
interrupting. There was no error, but I'd get the annoying message
box that says "Code execution has been interrupted." and the CONTINUE,
END, and DEBUG buttons. I've learned this is usually an indication
that I'm stretching the capacity of my memory - all I have to do is
hit CONTINUE and it runs along just fine - until it interuupts again!!

I had tables in a Word doc with reprot numbers in one column, and
several more blank columns. The data to fill in those blanks was
mostly in an Excel spreadsheet. One blank, though, could only be
filled in by finding the report document and grabbing one line of
text.

So the macro was designed to set an object to the table I had selected
and iterate down the report numbers, open the spreadsheet and find the
needed values for that report, then open the report, grab the one line
of text, and close the report. Lather, rinse, repeat until the end of
the table.

Can someone see where I could have saved memory overhead and made this
run a bit smoother?
