In this part of the code we are determining if Microsoft Word is open or not.  If Word is already open, we can set a variable equal to the entire program by using GetObject.  If MS Word is not currently running we can use CreateObject to run an instance of Word and then set a variable equal to that specific instance of MS Word.

When using CreateObject, the target application will start running but it is not visible on screen.  Therefore we need to turn the Visible setting on (equal to true).  Also, VBA with Word is a little bit different than with Excel in that it is much more dependent on its window showing on screen.  Therefore a second command must be written to Activate Microsoft Word.

Copy From Excel, Paste Onto Document

Now that you have a new document created, you can command Excel to paste your table into MS Word.  Near the beginning of the code, there was a line that allowed you to specify the exact table you wanted to copy.  The variable tbl was used to remember this table range and to allow you to reference the range later on in the code.  

Guru Tip: It is a good idea to place code that may need to be manually changed at some point in the future near the beginning of the subroutine.  This prevents you from having to scroll through your code and pinpoint the exact place where you spelled out which range you wanted to copy or which worksheet you wanted to pull data from.  This can save you a bunch of time and prevent confusion!

Word has a special method called PasteExcelTable, which (as you can guess) allows you paste in an Excel table.  There are three variables you can tweak to get you table looking and functioning just the way you want.

  • LinkedToExcel True links the pasted table to the original Excel file so that changes made to the Excel file are reflected in Microsoft Word.

  • WordFormatting True formats the table using the formatting in the Word document.  False formats the table according to the original Excel file.

  • RTF True pastes the Excel table using Rich Text Format (RTF).  False pastes the Excel table as HTML.

Now for the last step!  Depending on how large your table is, it may be spilling outside of your document page.  In order to prevent this from happening you can go ahead and use AutoFitBehavior to resize the table to fit perfectly inside your Word document.

Вставка таблицы Excel в документ Word с помощью кода VBA Excel. Метод Selection.PasteExcelTable: синтаксис, параметры, пример использования.

Работа с Word из кода VBA Excel
Часть 6. Вставка таблицы Excel в документ Word
[Часть 1] [Часть 2] [Часть 3] [Часть 4] [Часть 5] [Часть 6]

Метод Selection.PasteExcelTable

Метод Range.Paste, использующийся в VBA Word для вставки в документ таблиц, скопированных в буфер обмена из другого документа Word, не применим для вставки в документ таблиц, скопированных из книги Excel. Для этих целей используется метод Selection.PasteExcelTable.

Selection.PasteExcelTable — это метод, предназначенный для вставки Excel-таблицы из буфера обмена в документ Word и ее форматирования в соответствии с заданными параметрами.

Синтаксис

Expression.PasteExcelTable(LinkedToExcel, WordFormatting, RTF)

Expression — переменная, представляющая объект Selection. В том числе, это может быть курсор или закладка.

Параметры

Все параметры метода Selection.PasteExcelTable логического типа и являются обязательными.

Параметр Описание
LinkedToExcel True — вставленная таблица связывается с исходным файлом Excel, чтобы изменения, внесенные в файл Excel, отображались в Microsoft Word.
False — связь между вставленной таблицей и таблицей в исходном файле не устанавливается.
WordFormatting True — вставленная таблица будет отформатирована как таблица документа Word.
False — вставленная таблица будет отформатирована в соответствии с исходным файлом Excel.
RTF True — Excel-таблица будет вставлена в расширенном текстовом формате (RTF).
False — Excel-таблица будет вставлена в формате HTML-таблицы.

Допустим, у нас есть таблица Excel, начинающаяся с ячейки A1 (или с любой другой), и нам необходимо скопировать эту таблицу в существующий документ Word, вставив ее на место закладки «Закладка1».

Решение:

Sub Primer()

Dim myWord As New Word.Application, myDoc As Word.Document

‘Открываем существующий документ Word

Set myDoc = myWord.Documents.Open(«C:ТестоваяДокумент1.docx»)

‘Копируем таблицу на активном листе в буфер обмена

‘Вместо ячейки Range(«A1») можно указать любую другую, расположенную внутри таблицы

Range(«A1»).CurrentRegion.Copy

‘Вставляем таблицу из буфера обмена на место закладки

myDoc.Bookmarks(«Закладка1»).Range.PasteExcelTable False, False, False

‘Отображаем программу Word

myWord.Visible = True

‘Очищаем переменные

Set myWord = Nothing

Set myDoc = Nothing

End Sub

Если необходимо таблицу вставить в конец документа, строку

myDoc.Bookmarks(«Закладка1»).Range.PasteExcelTable False, False, False

следует заменить на

With myDoc

    ‘Переводим курсор в конец документа

    .Range(.Range.Characters.Count 1, .Range.Characters.Count 1).Select

    ‘Добавляем перенос строки, если необходимо

    .ActiveWindow.Selection.InsertAfter vbCr

    ‘Переводим курсор в конец документа

    .Range(.Range.Characters.Count 1, .Range.Characters.Count 1).Select

    ‘Вставляем таблицу из буфера обмена

    .ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteExcelTable False, False, False

End With


VBA is a very powerful tool you can use to automate a lot of work between multiple Microsoft Office applications. One common activity you can automate using VBA is inserting an Excel table into a Word document.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a potent tool to automate a lot of work between multiple Microsoft Office applications. One common activity you can automate using VBA is inserting an Excel table into a Word document.

There are two ways you can do this. The first is automating a straight copy and paste of an existing range from Excel into a new table in a Word document. The second is performing calculations in Excel, creating a new table in Word, and writing the results to the table.

You could try to record a macro to do this, but macros will only let you automate tasks inside of Word. In this article, you’ll learn how to write VBA code to automate these actions between Excel and Word.

Copy And Paste An Excel Range Into Word With VBA

In both examples, we’ll start with a sample Excel spreadsheet. This sample is a list of purchase orders for a variety of products.

purchase orders example

Let’s say you’d like to copy and paste the entire range of cells in this worksheet into a Word document. To do this, you’ll need to write a VBA function that’ll run when you click a “Copy To Word” button.

Select Developer from the menu and select Insert from the Controls group in the ribbon. In the drop-down list, select the Button control under ActiveX Controls.

inserting a button in Excel

Next, draw the command button on the right side of the sheet. You can change the caption to “Copy to Word” by right-clicking the button and selecting Properties. Change the caption text, and you can use Font to update font size and style.

drawing a button in excel

Note: If you don’t see Developer in your Excel menu, then add it.  Select File, Options, Customize Ribbon, and select All Commands from the left drop-down. Then move Developer from the left pane to the right and select OK to finish.

Write The Copy And Paste VBA Code

Now you’re ready to start writing VBA code. To get started, double-click the new Copy to Word button to open the code editor window.

You should see a subroutine called Commandbutton1_Click() as shown below.

command button routine

You’ll want to copy each section of the code below. Before you start coding, to control Word on your computer using VBA, you’ll need to enable the Microsoft Word reference library.

In the code editor, select Tools from the menu and select References. In the list of Available References, scroll down and enable Microsoft Word 16.0 Object Library.

enable word reference

Select OK, and you’re ready to start coding. We’ll go through each section of code at a time, so you understand what that code does and why.

First, you need to create the variables and objects that’ll hold the range and allow you to control the Word application.

Dim tblRange As Excel.Range
Dim WordApp As Word.Application
Dim WordDoc As Word.Document
Dim WordTable As Word.Table

The next line of code selects a specific range of cells and saves it to an Excel Range object in VBA.

Set tblRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:G44")

Next, you want to check if the Word application is already open on the computer. You can reference the Word application using a special “class” reference with the VBA GetObject command to accomplish this. If Word isn’t already opened, then the next line will launch it using the CreateObject function. The “On Error Resume Next” line prevents any error from the first GetObject function (if Word isn’t already open) from stopping the execution of the next line in the program.

On Error Resume Next
Set WordApp = GetObject(class:="Word.Application")
If WordApp Is Nothing Then Set WordApp = CreateObject(class:="Word.Application")

Now that the Word application is launched, you want to make it visible to the user and activate it for use.

WordApp.Visible = True
WordApp.Activate

Next, you want to create a new document inside the Word application.

Set WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Add

Finally, you’ll copy and paste the range of cells into a new table in the Word document.

tblRange.Copy
WordDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.PasteExcelTable _
LinkedToExcel:=False, _
WordFormatting:=False, _
RTF:=False

The switches in the above function will insert a non-linked table using source Excel formatting (not Word formatting) and not using rich text format.

Finally, to deal with Excel ranges that are wider than the document, you’ll need to autofit the new table, so it fits within the margins of your new Word document.

Set WordTable = WordDoc.Tables(1)
WordTable.AutoFitBehavior (wdAutoFitWindow)

And now you’re done! Save the file as a macro-enabled Excel file (.xlsm extension). Close the editor, save the original Excel file again, and then click your command button to see your code in action!

Write Excel Results Into A Word Table With VBA

In this next section, you’ll write VBA code that performs calculations on values in Excel and writes those to a table in Word.

For this example, we’ll pull 10 rows worth of data, calculate, and write the results to a table in a Word document. Also, the original table will contain four columns, and the VBA code will pull the first ten rows of data from that range.

sample table

Just as in the last section, we’ll go through each section at a time, so you understand what that code does and why.

First, create the variables and objects that’ll hold the data and allow you to write to the Word application.

Dim tblRange As Excel.Range
Dim WrdRange As Word.Range
Dim WordApp As Word.Application
Dim WordDoc As Word.Document
Dim WordTable As Word.Table
Dim intRows
Dim intColumns
Dim strDate As String
Dim strItem As String
Dim intUnits As Variant
Dim intCost As Variant
Dim intTotal As Variant

Next, set the total columns and rows you want to read from the Excel range.


intNoOfRows = 10
intNoOfColumns = 5

Repeat the same code as the last section that’ll open Word if it isn’t already open.

On Error Resume Next
Set WordApp = GetObject(class:="Word.Application")
If WordApp Is Nothing Then Set WordApp = CreateObject(class:="Word.Application")
WordApp.Visible = True
WordApp.Activate
Set WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Add

The next four lines create a table inside that newly opened Word document.

Set WrdRange = WordDoc.Range(0, 0)
WordDoc.Tables.Add WrdRange, intNoOfRows, intNoOfColumns
Set WordTable = WordDoc.Tables(1)
WordTable.Borders.Enable = True

Finally, the following loop will perform these actions:

  1. For each row, put the order date, item, units, and cost into variables
  2. Calculate unit times cost (total sale) and store that in a variable
  3. For each column, write the values to the Word table, including the calculated total sale in the last cell
  4. Move on to the next row, and repeat the procedure above

Here’s what that code looks like:

For i = 1 To intNoOfRows
For j = 1 To intNoOfColumns
If j = 1 Then
strDate = tblRange.Cells(i + 1, j).Value
strItem = tblRange.Cells(i + 1, j + 1).Value
intUnits = Val(tblRange.Cells(i + 1, j + 2).Value)
intCost = Val(tblRange.Cells(i + 1, j + 3).Value)
intTotal = intUnits * intCost
End If
Select Case j
Case Is = 1
WordTable.Cell(i, j).Range.Text = strDate
Case Is = 2
WordTable.Cell(i, j).Range.Text = strItem
Case Is = 3
WordTable.Cell(i, j).Range.Text = intUnits
Case Is = 4
WordTable.Cell(i, j).Range.Text = intCost
Case Is = 5
WordTable.Cell(i, j).Range.Text = intTotal
Case Else
End Select
Next
Next

The “Cells” function in the first part pulls the cell values out of Excel. Cells(x,y) means it pulls the cell’s value at row x and column y.
The “Cell” function in the last part writes to the cells in the Word table, using the same row and column assignments.

Once you save and run this VBA code, you’ll see the results in your newly created Word document.

word table results

As you can see, it isn’t too complicated to create some useful automation between Excel and Word. It’s just a matter of understanding how the various “objects” work to create and control both the Excel and the Word applications on your computer.

I have updated the code, check and let me know if it is working?

Before running the macro go to Microsoft Visual basic for Applications window

then in tools-> references

and check the «Microsoft Word xx object library»

and ok

then delete the table you have pasted in your template and save it, as the macro will paste that, you don’t want two of them.

    save_path = ThisWorkbook.Path & ""

This topic includes Visual Basic examples related to the tasks identified in the following sections.

Creating a table, inserting text, and applying formatting

The following example inserts a four-column, three-row table at the beginning of the active document. The For Each…Next structure is used to step through each cell in the table. Within the For Each…Next structure, the InsertAfter method of the Range object is used to add text to the table cells (Cell 1, Cell 2, and so on).

Sub CreateNewTable() 
 Dim docActive As Document 
 Dim tblNew As Table 
 Dim celTable As Cell 
 Dim intCount As Integer 
 
 Set docActive = ActiveDocument 
 Set tblNew = docActive.Tables.Add( _ 
 Range:=docActive.Range(Start:=0, End:=0), NumRows:=3, _ 
 NumColumns:=4) 
 intCount = 1 
 
 For Each celTable In tblNew.Range.Cells 
  celTable.Range.InsertAfter "Cell " & intCount 
  intCount = intCount + 1 
 Next celTable 
 
 tblNew.AutoFormat Format:=wdTableFormatColorful2, _ 
 ApplyBorders:=True, ApplyFont:=True, ApplyColor:=True 
End Sub

Inserting text into a table cell

The following example inserts text into the first cell of the first table in the active document. The Cell method returns a single Cell object. The Range property returns a Range object. The Delete method is used to delete the existing text and the InsertAfter method inserts the «Cell 1,1» text.

Sub InsertTextInCell() 
 If ActiveDocument.Tables.Count >= 1 Then 
  With ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(Row:=1, Column:=1).Range 
   .Delete 
   .InsertAfter Text:="Cell 1,1" 
  End With 
 End If 
End Sub

Returning text from a table cell without returning the end of cell marker

The following example returns and displays the contents of each cell in the first row of the first document table.

Sub ReturnTableText() 
 Dim tblOne As Table 
 Dim celTable As Cell 
 Dim rngTable As Range 
 
 Set tblOne = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) 
 For Each celTable In tblOne.Rows(1).Cells 
  Set rngTable = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=celTable.Range.Start, _ 
  End:=celTable.Range.End - 1) 
  MsgBox rngTable.Text 
 Next celTable 
End Sub
Sub ReturnCellText() 
 Dim tblOne As Table 
 Dim celTable As Cell 
 Dim rngTable As Range 
 
 Set tblOne = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) 
 For Each celTable In tblOne.Rows(1).Cells 
  Set rngTable = celTable.Range 
  rngTable.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1 
  MsgBox rngTable.Text 
 Next celTable 
End Sub

Converting existing text to a table

The following example inserts tab-delimited text at the beginning of the active document and then converts the text to a table.

Sub ConvertExistingText() 
 With Documents.Add.Content 
  .InsertBefore "one" & vbTab & "two" & vbTab & "three" & vbCr 
  .ConvertToTable Separator:=Chr(9), NumRows:=1, NumColumns:=3 
 End With 
End Sub

Returning the contents of each table cell

The following example defines an array equal to the number of cells in the first document table (assuming Option Base 1). The For Each…Next structure is used to return the contents of each table cell and assign the text to the corresponding array element.

Sub ReturnCellContentsToArray() 
 Dim intCells As Integer 
 Dim celTable As Cell 
 Dim strCells() As String 
 Dim intCount As Integer 
 Dim rngText As Range 
 
 If ActiveDocument.Tables.Count >= 1 Then 
  With ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Range 
   intCells = .Cells.Count 
   ReDim strCells(intCells) 
   intCount = 1 
   For Each celTable In .Cells 
    Set rngText = celTable.Range 
    rngText.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1 
    strCells(intCount) = rngText 
    intCount = intCount + 1 
   Next celTable 
  End With 
 End If 
End Sub

Copying all tables in the active document into a new document

This example copies the tables from the current document into a new document.

Sub CopyTablesToNewDoc() 
 Dim docOld As Document 
 Dim rngDoc As Range 
 Dim tblDoc As Table 
 
 If ActiveDocument.Tables.Count >= 1 Then 
  Set docOld = ActiveDocument 
  Set rngDoc = Documents.Add.Range(Start:=0, End:=0) 
  For Each tblDoc In docOld.Tables 
   tblDoc.Range.Copy 
   With rngDoc 
    .Paste 
    .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd 
    .InsertParagraphAfter 
    .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd 
   End With 
  Next 
 End If 
End Sub
