    Paste

    I want to copy rows of a table from excel into a word table. Which I am doing, but when the data I am copying is from an access database link the only formatting option that works is "Paste options: merge"



    I've looked online for a while, found nothing. I've tried recording macros in both excel and in word, I cant get that working either.

    All I need to know is how to paste that option using VBA, if someone knows that would help greatly.

    thanks, Andy

    Edit: I cant change the title, that was a temporary one.

    I presume you mean to output each record in a table row. While I have no experience doing that in Word, I have in Excel and am pretty sure a mass copy/paste can't be done there either. The closest thing would be transferspreadsheet, which works between a table and spreadsheet (in either direction) but that's not a copy/paste operation. The usual method outside of copy/paste would be Automation, so I'm guessing that if one can do that in Excel, one could move through a set of Word table rows and cells, inserting table field values, but I've never done that.

    If you mean to dump a set of records into one table row, then I have no idea, other than separately concatenating record values down each of the Access fields and inserting into a Word table cells.
