Macro to copy cell data to word document based on an active row?

[Guest]

I have an Excel sheet that has several rows of data.

Is it possible for the user to highlight a cell in column A and then copy
data from that row (specific cells) to a word document that has been
previously created and contains bookmarks?

Excel
A B C D
1 J Smith 65 01/01/04 Mazada 6
2 S Jones 36 03/02/04 Mini
3 G Hall 25 06/06/04 Civic

So the user will highlight one of the rows and then the macro will copy only
the cells A, C, D and place them into the word document

Word
Dear, (name)

Thank you for purchasing (car) on (date)


any help would be greatly appreciated

You may want to look into MailMerge (in MSWord).

These links may help:

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMerge

The first is from David McRitchie and the second is by Beth Melton and Dave
Rado.

IIRC, you could filter the database just for certain records. If worse comes to
worse, you could add a new column and make it explicit (Yes/No) and filter by
that when you're doing the mailmerge.

Thanks Dave for the links.

I was able to use some code from previous posts on this site, which appears
to work using Bookmarks. I will also look at the mailmerge option with your
tip of using a filter.
