Issues with Word when exporting data from Excel - errorhandling

[Kragelund]

Hi,

interesting to read the threads on exporting data from Excel to Word. I am
trying to autogenerate a Word report populated with data from Excel 2007, but
I meet a few obstacles.

My questions are: how do I avoid that the procedure of exporting data stops,
when it encounters an empty cell in Excel?

When the same piece of data in Excel has to be exported to various places in
the document, I apparently can't use the same bookmark in Word. Is there a
way around this.

Thanks in advance!

The code:

Sub Report_Xl_to_Word()
Dim WordRep As Object
Set WordRep = CreateObject("Word.Application")

WordRep.Documents.Open "J:\Plan_something.doc"

WordRep.Visible = True

worksheets("Statusark").Range("c63").Copy

WordRep.Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToBookmark, name:="Plantype"
WordRep.Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText,
Placement:=wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False

worksheets("Statusark").Range("c64").Copy
WordRep.Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToBookmark, name:="Resume_dato"
WordRep.Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText,
Placement:=wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False

worksheets("Statusark").Range("c65").Copy
WordRep.Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToBookmark, name:="PR1"
WordRep.Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText,
Placement:=wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False

....

Application.CutCopyMode = False

Set WordRep = Nothing

End Sub

I'm thinking I'd do this with Mail Merge, but wouldn't that suit your purposes?

I haven't considered this option, and I don't know much about mail merge.
Could such a solution be controlled from Excel and run in VBA code?
