ExcelBanter - Replacing Word text with Excel data problem

I have a macro to open a word document from Excel 2003. I then need
replace text in the document with data from cells in a spreadsheet.

I open a version of word and then the spreadsheet as follows:

Sub ReplaceText()
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
dim ReplaceText as String

ReplaceText= Range("C2")

Set wdApp = CreateObject("word.application")
wdApp.Documents.Open("P:\WordDocument.doc").Applic ation.Visible = True

With wdApp
..Visible = True
..WindowState = 1
With Selection.Find
..Text= "OAKNo"
..Replacement.Text = ReplaceText
..Forward = True
..Wrap = wdFindContinue
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub

This opens the word document but will not replace the text. However, I
can, for instance, add text to the document using:
Selection .TypeText Text:="text".
Also the replace code will run from within a subroutine in the word
document.
Any thoughts on why the replace code will not work, or another way to
do this would be very gratefully received.
