I would give this 5 likes if I could. Not only is this great material, but it is also worth studying. There are so many tips and answers here. Your level of explanation is perfect.
Dear Andrew, it's a pleasure to watch your videos! You have the great ability to be essential, but at the same time do not overlook any detail you need to understand exactly how the program works. Really at any time of the day I watch your lessons, even after a hard day's work. I really believe that you are a very intelligent person and also admirable for having made available to all your innate professional and teaching skills. Thank you not just for the VBA, as at the same time I'm also improving my English. I do not know if and when I can visit England, but I would be extremely pleased to congratulate you on getting to know you personally. Who knows ... maybe one day we will meet. Thank you very much.
Another smashing hit! Your videos are top quality, your explanations are clear, your examples are focused, and your coverage of the issues is comprehensive. Your TH-cam channel is a treasure trove, nothing less. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you for all the videos you've produced. They have taken me a long way from "novice" to producing outstanding content in a very short period of time. I like the speed you go at (I can always step back if I need to) because the amount of information is incredible. I LEARN from your videos. Thank you!
AMAZING, just came across your video and I have to say I don't think anyone could have done a better job. It's amazing how much depth you provide, along with making it simple to understand. LOVE IT!!! Thank you
What a great video, just as the rest of them on your channel. I'd like to thank you for sharing your knowledge and give thorough explanations which is what I usually look for, not simply being given the right instructions to use. One of the things I struggled most with was the use of the CreateObject or Set...New. I saw them used many times but I couldn't tell the difference. Now it's pretty clear what they're for and the advantages and disadvantages of using one option or the other. Superb work :)
You are just amazing. I am actually learning computer programming via all the courses you are presenting. I will be making a donation as you are really helping me out in my career! thank you so much Andrew. Also the book you have written is amazing. I think it is the go to guide for VBA.
Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for. Moreover, the entire series of videos is very interesting and useful. Also, you are a very good teacher. Thanks again!
Excellent video. I normally don't "like" any videos on youtube but I HAD to like, comment and subscribe to this one. You mastery of VBA is great, you presentation skills are on point and the content is super relevant. Well done!
Excellent video. Great didactic technic. Congratulations! I cannot understand how someone can give a thumbs down for this excellent tutorial. For sure these people have a problem, I am sorry! Go ahead and bring us great things like this.
Hi, I want to thank you for all of your great videos on vba. I've got a lot of help over the last years from you and, I LOVE the way you say "reference". Please throw more references in there and keep up the good work
For someone in future, if you are looking to copy embedded chart you should use something like this in your code: Dim MyChart As ChartObject Set MyChart = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DOC").ChartObjects("Chart 1") MyChart.Chart.ChartArea.Copy .Selection.GoTo what:=-1, Name:="ChartLocation" .Selection.Paste
Hi Matiss, thanks for this, we do cover referencing ChartObjects in a separate video th-cam.com/video/buRwtzVw7UQ/w-d-xo.html but it's always useful to have tips like this around to help remind people. Thanks for taking the time to add it and for watching!
I needed to know what was in the title of the video. The last few days and in future though I've needed to know all the tons of other useful stuff in here too! Great vid. :)
Can you make a video that shows how to pull data from queries in VBA and update sheets in the workbook? In the business world this is what you end up needing to use VBA for most of the time.
This is great! How can I get my data to automatically scale to fit the word document? The data in Excel fits within the page guidelines, but it does not when I transfer it to Word.
I really appreciate your tutorials Andrew, they helped me learn a lot. One thing I would advise you to do is that get the different sections inside the description box and youtube will create navigation panes for the video and that way it will be easier to navigate to specific sections of tutorials.
Thanks yes, we've been adding chapters to all of the videos we release for the past six months or so. We haven't had the time to go back to the hundreds of older videos to do the same yet! I'm happy to hear that you found the video useful anyway, thank you for watching and for sharing that tip!
@@m.mohtashim2000 Hi there! I don't think it's very likely that we'll have an entire series on Word macros although we will probably have the occasional video involving Word.
Well explained video and was super easy to follow. How would you take cells out of the excel table and insert into word document in a custom table that is created with VBA code?
Thank you very much for this very well explained tutorial. I seem to have an issue with selecting the range I want to use. Copying your example, I get an error message and nothing is displayed (Range("A2", Range("A2").End(x1Down).End(x1ToRight)).Copy). In fact in may case, I would like to have the range start at A2 - down - to I and down. Perhaps this is not something to be solved just via this message?
Hello: please advise how to center a text vertically (as Page Setup/Layout/Page/Center). Also, please advise how to enter a new page in the created word document (as page break). In your video you showed how to enter a new line (with .TypeText vbnewline) or new paragraph (.Typeparagraph). Thank you.
Hi there, thus far WiseOwlTutorials are the best from all other tutorials I've watched to learn using VBA. I need help on something I'm sure is easy for you. I have an excel sheet with word information across in different cells. I simple need to structure a module that exports it all into a word document vertically using groups of cell aligned below each other like a paragraph. What are the codes i need to organize each cell. Do I have to set bookmarks (I don't even know what that is). Your guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hello Andrew. Thanks for the great video tutorial! I was hoping that you might post a video (or perhaps reply with the code) to copy only specific cells from excel to the bookmarks in word. In my job I put together contracts that have repetitive information and I wanted to put together a one page "Questionnaire" (for lack of a better term) to inject the "answers" into whichever page of the word doc it relates to using the bookmark method. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
It is possible to generate a word template from every excel row individually. In excel I need a button to appear on every new row I populate with data and the button must open the word template that was fill with the data that I populate the row. And also i need the autofill word template to be save in a specified location. Thank you!
great video and it works perfectly so thanks! I would like to add something else to this but I'm not sure how....> my table that I am importing to word has some cells that contain formulas that are returning null-strings. Unfortunately when the table is imported to word it imports the blank rows. I could of course just delete them after they have been imported, however I thought Id ask if there was a way using VBA code when selecting the columns to be sent to word, to ignore all cells containing null-strings? currently i could have values on row a, nothing on row b, values on row c etc in any order. I only want VBA to take data from the table of values that contains a value, and I do not want gaps between. I dont necesarily want to remove the formula or the null-string from the Excel document its self, I just want it to ignore those cells when exporting and sort it in such a way that there are no gaps where nullstrings would have been.
Hi!, there are any chances that you make a tutorial or at least offer a link about manipulate style list from excel vba, with data (like items, if they use number or dots, the level of the item) on a table, for give format in word?
Pls suggest VBA code to copy specific selections from one Word file to another, by opening data from one file and copying it to other using VBA. Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi Andrew, yours are the best delivered tutorials on TH-cam bar none. I'm less than a newbie in VBA and may have missed this but is there a way of personalising each email - e.g. "Hi ,"? while still adding attachments?
Hi Andrew, would be happy if you could solve this for me..tried googling but no much information - "how to possibly embed the word doc or the excel itself in the powerpoint presentation? ." . . . Thank you in advance
I was having some difficulties using the Format function for the date -- (compile error: Wrong number of args...). I solved by writing in: VBA.Format(arguments). There is another function in the intellisense called: format (with a lowercase f). Do you have any idea where this function comes from?
Great Vid! Would a similar thing be done if you wanted to populate a word report with data from excel. i.e. you had a standard MS word report that said something like. "Since the last report X people have signed up with the company and Y people have retired" where you want to populate the X and Y with values from an excel sheet?
Hi Andrew, first I would like to say your videos are great, and can't believe this to be free!! Anyways, I would like to know if I could edit a word file like a contract, and change the data within using my excel worksheet. For instance, I only use "find-replace" to edit manually, but I would like to automate it if possible?
Is anyone else getting an error in the SaveAs2 line at the 29:30 mark? It says to check the path or select a file from the list.... any advice is greatly appreciated!
This is really a big help explaining pulling a microsoft application from another. But do you have videos running VBA with outlook as the main application and running excel then after using outlook codes?
Hi, I had a query. If we use late binding in vba then there is no need for word,outlook,etc. library but when i did that the actions(object.action) that you use in this video gave an error as variable not defined which should not happen, as you said that people tend to program using early binding and then convert later to late binding. The line that gave me the error was '.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter'.
When I try to paste my range from Excel to Word I get run-time error 1004: method 'copy' of object 'range' failed.?? Do you know what causes this error? I am running office 2004 on mac, and one of the cells in my copied range contains a formula, could this by why the paste fails?
+WiseOwlTutorials Thanks. With a slight tweek I used: Range("A1", "I56").CopyPicture wdapp.Selection.Paste "Current region" seems to select one cell only.
Hai, ur video is wonderful.. i need help.. now this tutorial teaches how to copy the whole table data but how can i only copy a selected data from the table to the assigned bookmark in word? For example if i have 100 ppl i just want to transfer 1 person data from the worksheet by assigning condition like i will enter a siri no. at “E3”cell so if the siri no. in E3 is equal to the siri no. of that 1 person in the table then i want to transfer the whole data of of that person only into word. Not the whole table. How to write vba code for that? Thank you in advance
Thank you Farah! I think that you might find this video on the Find method useful th-cam.com/video/_ZVSV9Y7TGw/w-d-xo.html You can search for the "siri no." using the value of E3 and then copy the row that you find. I hope it helps!
Thank you for the excellent video. I can paste data into bookmarks and am using .Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText so the information within cells is pasted as text at the bookmark location within a paragraph. However, doing so removes the bookmark and the reference for subsequent cross-referenced text. How can I paste data from Excel into Bookmarks in Word and still retain the bookmark for cross-referencing? Thanks again :)
Great walkthrough! I wanted to ask what if I have an excel sheet and want to generate a word document which is a form but want somethings autofilled from that excel row. The main issue I am facing is how to fit that excel data in that row from cells to particular places in my form Any ideas??
Hi! You can use bookmarks in the Word document and apply the GoTo method to select them docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.selection.goto There's some basic sample code here stackoverflow.com/questions/2725550/how-to-jump-to-a-bookmark-in-word-vba-and-insert-text I hope it helps!
Great video series Andrew thank you . Curious if you could explain how I could reference an embedded Word Template (in same excel file) instead of referencing the file path as you have done in the video with the .Documents.Add. Want to distribute the Excel file with the template embedded instead of having to access users file structure. Any insight is much appreciated.
Another great video. As a personal mini-rant, doesn't it just drive you nuts when you have to program around people who are using software that is 10+ years old?! We have to do the same thing when we create reports in SAS, although really only between Office 2003 and newer versions (when the .***x extension came about). Seems VBA is even pickier, given the different methods across versions. Would there be anything stopping you from using SaveAs by default rather than SaveAs2, given that SaveAs is still available in newer versions?
great video. I am trying to copy a table range from word to excel. I am stuck with word vba syntax. wDoc.Tables(1).cell(2,2) to cell(3,9) can you please help me. Thanks in advance.
Hi Andrew! I am facing problem in copying chart. I tried these lines: Charts("Chart1").Select ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy I can see in step by step method that chart sheet is selected but I get error on second line in copying that chart. The error is: Run_Time error '445' Object Doesn't support this action I tried single line as well as you did in video like: Chart1.ChartArea.Copy But I get the same error. Please help...
Dear Andrew Thank you very much for these amazing and resourceful VBA tutorials. How do you reference bookmarks located in the footer/header of a word document from excel? I tried to paste data in the footer section of a word document by referring to the bookmark as you would if it was in the main document but got a runtime error: "Word cannot find the requested bookmark" Thanks David
Hi. I have a question if anyone can help me out. I'm trying to locate a bookmark inside a textbox (in my Word Document), but when I run the code in excel VBA says error 5678: Word can't find the specified bookmark. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi- great videos. Question. I can't get the macro to automatically save the document. Instead, the word app open s the save as window and forces me to save it manually. Any reasons this could be happening? For ref, i am using office 2016. Thanks.
WiseOwlTutorials I'm having the same issue in 2007. I have found out that this is a compatibility issue between a 32- bit installation of office on a 64- bit system. I don't know how to fix it but that seems to be the problem.
Hi Andrew, First of all, thank you very much for this tutorial and all others. I can say without a doubt that you've taught me how to write VBA. I'm experiencing a problem with the VBA code I've written, though. When I change the code from "early binding" to "late binding", all the formatting I've done in the word document is lost. So all works well when I write the code, but when I change the method from Early Binding to Late Binding, my new generated files won't come formatted :( The stretch of the code I'm having trouble with: Sub GenerateWord() Dim wdApp As Object Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") With wdApp .Visible = True .Activate .Documents.Add With .Selection .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter .BoldRun

For example if i have 100 ppl i just want to transfer 1 person data from the worksheet by assigning condition like i will enter a siri no. at “E3”cell so if the siri no. in E3 is equal to the siri no. of that 1 person in the table then i want to transfer the whole data of of that person only into word. Not the whole table. How to write vba code for that? Thank you in advance
Thank you Farah!
I think that you might find this video on the Find method useful th-cam.com/video/_ZVSV9Y7TGw/w-d-xo.html
You can search for the "siri no." using the value of E3 and then copy the row that you find.
I hope it helps!
This guy is the best!
Thank you for the excellent video.
I can paste data into bookmarks and am using .Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText so the information within cells is pasted as text at the bookmark location within a paragraph. However, doing so removes the bookmark and the reference for subsequent cross-referenced text.
How can I paste data from Excel into Bookmarks in Word and still retain the bookmark for cross-referencing?
Thanks again :)
This is so much.... Thanks Andrew
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed this video too and thank you for watching!

Great walkthrough! I wanted to ask what if I have an excel sheet and want to generate a word document which is a form but want somethings autofilled from that excel row. The main issue I am facing is how to fit that excel data in that row from cells to particular places in my form
Any ideas??
Hi! You can use bookmarks in the Word document and apply the GoTo method to select them docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.selection.goto
There's some basic sample code here stackoverflow.com/questions/2725550/how-to-jump-to-a-bookmark-in-word-vba-and-insert-text
I hope it helps!
Great video series Andrew thank you . Curious if you could explain how I could reference an embedded Word Template (in same excel file) instead of referencing the file path as you have done in the video with the .Documents.Add. Want to distribute the Excel file with the template embedded instead of having to access users file structure. Any insight is much appreciated.

Greatly appreciated will give it a shot
Hi Andrew, thanks for another great video..I copied your code, but it doesn't work if I enter numbers with the if statement (if .version
Another great video. As a personal mini-rant, doesn't it just drive you nuts when you have to program around people who are using software that is 10+ years old?! We have to do the same thing when we create reports in SAS, although really only between Office 2003 and newer versions (when the .***x extension came about). Seems VBA is even pickier, given the different methods across versions.
Would there be anything stopping you from using SaveAs by default rather than SaveAs2, given that SaveAs is still available in newer versions?
great video. I am trying to copy a table range from word to excel. I am stuck with word vba syntax. wDoc.Tables(1).cell(2,2) to cell(3,9) can you please help me. Thanks in advance.
Hi Andrew! I am facing problem in copying chart. I tried these lines:
Charts("Chart1").Select
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
I can see in step by step method that chart sheet is selected but I get error on second line in copying that chart. The error is:
Run_Time error '445'
Object Doesn't support this action
I tried single line as well as you did in video like:
Chart1.ChartArea.Copy
But I get the same error.
Please help...

Dear Andrew
Thank you very much for these amazing and resourceful VBA tutorials.
How do you reference bookmarks located in the footer/header of a word document from excel? I tried to paste data in the footer section of a word document by referring to the bookmark as you would if it was in the main document but got a runtime error: "Word cannot find the requested bookmark"
Thanks
David
***** Hi Andrew, That sure helped. My code is now working properly. Thank you very much!
Hi. I have a question if anyone can help me out. I'm trying to locate a bookmark inside a textbox (in my Word Document), but when I run the code in excel VBA says error 5678: Word can't find the specified bookmark. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi- great videos. Question. I can't get the macro to automatically save the document. Instead, the word app open s the save as window and forces me to save it manually. Any reasons this could be happening? For ref, i am using office 2016. Thanks.

I'm having the same issue in 2007. I have found out that this is a compatibility issue between a 32- bit installation of office on a 64- bit system. I don't know how to fix it but that seems to be the problem.
Hi Andrew,
First of all, thank you very much for this tutorial and all others. I can say without a doubt that you've taught me how to write VBA.
I'm experiencing a problem with the VBA code I've written, though. When I change the code from "early binding" to "late binding", all the formatting I've done in the word document is lost.
So all works well when I write the code, but when I change the method from Early Binding to Late Binding, my new generated files won't come formatted :(
The stretch of the code I'm having trouble with:
Sub GenerateWord()
Dim wdApp As Object
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
With wdApp
.Visible = True
.Activate
.Documents.Add
With .Selection
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter
.BoldRun
Thank you very much Andrew! You're awesome!
Very nice tutorial… Will like to know if it is possible to export text only from excel to word??
