I have a workbook which creates Word reports based on a Word template and tables in the workbook.
Depending on the equipment type, it copies a range from the spreadsheet and pastes it to two bookmark locations in the word document (bmInternal and bmExternal). I tried using PasteAppendTable, but this only works once. If I try to use it twice, for each bookmark, it copies nothing both times. As such I used Paste for one and PasteAppendTable for the second (PasteAppendTable is much neater as the formatting is better).
This worked fine, but I made changes to the code, not related to this, and now the Paste (which goes to bmInternal) isn't working. I can't see why when I've not changed anything regarding that part:

I have the code below to copy an array of tables in Word to Excel. The volume of data being copied gives memory problems, so I would like to avoid the clipboard - i.e. avoid using Range.Copy
Word does not support Range.Value and I have not been able to get Range(x) = Range(y) to work.
Any suggestions for a way to avoid the clipboard? Word formatting can be junked.

I copied this code to get data from a word document form and put it into an excel spreadsheet and it works great except that the dates are coming in mm/dd/yyyy format. I need to it be dd/mm/yyyy format.
I tried adding a date picker to the form but that hasn't helped.
Normally I would put the formatting into the VBA code but I am unsure how to do that in this code. Can it be inserted or can I somehow reformat the date after it comes into the spreadsheet?
The code is in Excel VBA

I use early binding, so you will need to either add a reference to Word object model, or tweak the code to late binding (including finding out the numeric value of the enums).
I worked fine with My Chinese words documents, it may require to change some of the codes for different heading style.
If it won't work for you, I would love to have your words sample file and figure out why.
PS: The key point is to have the correct #OLE_LINK format.

The issues with your initial code:
Main error: variable wApp exists in CreateWordDocuments1, but
not in CopyCell
Variable PersonCell exists in CreateWordDocuments1, but not in CopyCell (same as 1st)
CopyCell doesn't use parameter BookMarkName (not critical but made it redundant)
