I have a a requirement to open a Word doc from Excel and substitute text in a Text Box in the Word doc with text from the Excel spreadsheet.
I recorded a Macro with Word and it said to use ActiveDocument, however when I try to use this in my code within Excel, I get a Variable not defined error.
Here is my code -
Dim objWord As Object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Documents.Open "C:\Users\kmccorma\Desktop\ReportPage.doc"
ActiveDocument.Shapes("Text Box 12").Select
I tried objWord.Shapes but I get an error saying Object doesnt support this property.
I can see the Shapes property is available with ActiveChart, do I need to do something with ActiveChart to get this to work?
Still relatively new to VB, so any help would be much appreciated.
That is because, Excel doesn't recognize what ActiveDocument is. I would recommend using Objects. See this example.
Dim objWord As Object, objDoc As Object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open("C:\Users\kmccorma\Desktop\ReportPage.doc")
With objDoc.Shapes("Text Box 12")
'~~> Do Something
'.Select
End With
