It is probably best to use a field code. You add field code when you add a
caption to a picture using in word insert - reference - caption. You can see
the field codes by going to the word menu Tools - Options - View and select
field Codes.

to find out how to select a particula area of a word document I would
recommend asking the Microsoft Word Guru's. Word is much more difficult to
work with than an excel document.

I may be better to write the macro in word than in excel. Word can open an
excel document just like excel can open the word document.

Hi,

I'm using Office 2003. Using VBA, I'd like to copy and paste a chart onto
page 6 of a Word document/template. The below code copies and pastes to page
1. Any ideas what I have to add to:
A) specify the page
B) specify the position of the chart on the page, and
C) give the chart a 'name' that can be referenced later within the macro
(i.e., rather than some arbitrary number that Word might give it).

Thanks for any ideas.

Sub copy_charts_Word()

Dim role_chart_sh As Shape

Dim MSW As Word.Application
Dim MSWfile As Word.Document

Set MSW = New Word.Application
MSW.Visible = msoCTrue
Set MSWfile = MSW.Documents.Open("C:\Report_template.doc")

Set role_chart_sh = Worksheets("Chart_Role").Shapes(1)
role_chart_sh.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture

MSW.Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteMetafilePicture,_
Placement:=wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False

End Sub
