Send UserForm Data to .DOT Template
 

I have a UserForm in Excel '03 where I am collecting data. I'd like to open a
word template and pass the data on to the template to bookmarks. I'd like to
bypass the process of sending the data to excel cells, then have the data
passed on to the template.

Is that the best way to do it? I assumed it would be faster...but I'm just
starting to learn.

As always, I appreciate the help!

Send UserForm Data to .DOT Template
 

This is interesting; I never thought of doing it from an Excel UserForm
DIRECTLY to Word. It is probably possible, but you can probably save
yourself a lot of headaches if you send it from the Excel sheet to the Word
doc. So, go from the UserForm to the Sheet, like this.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Cells(1, 1) = TextBox1.Text
Cells(2, 1) = TextBox2.Text
Cells(3, 1) = TextBox3.Text
'(1,1) is Cell A1, (2,1) is Cell A2, etc.
On Error Resume Next
End Sub


Now, go from the Excel sheet to the Word doc., like this:
Sub PushToWord()
Dim objWord As New Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim bkmk As Word.Bookmark
sWdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , , , False)
Set doc = objWord.Documents.Open(sWdFileName)
objWord.activedocument.variables("FirstName").Valu e = Range("FirstName").Value
objWord.activedocument.variables("LastName").Value = Range("LastName").Value
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
objWord.Visible = True
End Sub

In Word, you would name one DocVariable "FirstName" and in Excel you would
name the corresponding cell "FirstName" (this is a Named Range).

You have to insert DocVariables in Word. If you don't know how to do that,
Google around for it (I'm at achool now and they have 2007 here; I don't
really like 2007 and I really have no idea how DocVariables work in Word
2007).

That's pretty much it. Oh, also, set a reference in Excel to Word and run
everything from Excel.


Good luck,

Send UserForm Data to .DOT Template
 

Set a reference to the Word Object Model under ToolsReferences in the VBE
and then use the following, which assumes that you have located docvariable
fields in the template at the locations where you want the data to appear.

Dim objWord As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim WordWasNotRunning As Boolean
On Error Resume Next

Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err Then
Set objWord = New Word.Application
WordWasNotRunning = True
End If
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Activate
Set wrdDoc = objWord.Documents.Add("TemplateName")
With wrdDoc
.Variables("varname").Value = somecontrol.Text
'etc
.Range.Fields.Update
End With

If WordWasNotRunning Then
oWord.Quit
End If

Set wrdDoc = Nothing
Set objWord = Nothing
