into an already built table into word. i started macro, went to excel,
highlighted the 3 cells, used the copy button, went to word, used the paste
button and stopped recording. when i ran the macro, it told me my clipboard
was empty.

Word's macro recorder can't follow you into Excel. That means there won't be
any code in the macro to represent selecting cells and copying.

You're going to have to write some of that code without the recorder's help.
If you don't know how, then post a detailed description of the task in the

to get assistance.
