Hello,

I'm creating a program in VBA of excel.
Now I have to make a raport function in the excel sheet.
So I have to Create a new word document and fill it, using the excel
VBA.
But I can't seem to find the right code to do this.
Can anyone here help me out?

Rob

Hi
This is an unedited sub you can read. The excel text to go into the
letter is in a range called MyParagraphs.
See if it helps anyway!

If I try to run one of the functions your link references or if I try to
execute the macro Paul posted, I get the same error message on the line:

Dim wrdApp As Word.Application

The error is: Compile Error. User-defined type not defined.

I get it that I have to define the type, but I am unsure how to do that.
Ideas?

Hi
I just gave you code to look at and see how things are done. I didn't
expect you to try and run it.
It includes segments on opening Word, creating a document, inserting
text, saving the document and so on. Have a read through it and work
out what the bits do.
regards
Paul
