Hi, I am trying to create a macro to copy an Excel table into a Word document. The macro need to perform the following three steps. I am stuck with the third step. It is also not possible to record a macro for this step. Can you please help me with that? 1. Paste the Excel table in the clipboard at the cursor location in the word document. (Pastespecial) 2. Format the table 3. Change the update option to âManual Updateâ ( this can be done manually as follows: Edit --> links--> Manual Update ) My code: [code] .. Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=True, DataType:=wdPasteHTML ' paste table into Word Dim tbl As Table For Each tbl In Selection.Tables tbl.Rows.HeightRule = wdRowHeightAuto tbl.Rows.Height = InchesToPoints(0) ' format the table tbl.AutoFitBehavior (wdAutoFitWindow) Next tbl --------------------------------------------- â the part after this is not working. Dim alf As Shape For Each alf In ActiveDocument.Shapes If alf.Type = msoLinkedOLEObject Then alf.LinkFormat.AutoUpdate = False End If Next [/code] Thanks, MG. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com
