Copy and paste on new page - vba

I am trying to write a code that copies the contents of multiple worksheets in a single workbook into a single word document. I want the content of each worksheet to be on its own page, but right now, my code is just copying and pasting over each other instead of going onto a new page and pasting. I've tried going to the end of the document but it isn't working... Any advice would be helpful.
Sub ToWord()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Wkbk1 As Workbook
Set Wkbk1 = ActiveWorkbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Range("A1:A2").Copy
Dim wdapp As Object
Dim wddoc As Object
Dim Header As Range
Dim strdocname As String
'file name & folder path
On Error Resume Next
'error number 429
Set wdapp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number = 429 Then
Err.Clear
'create new instance of word application
Set wdapp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
wdapp.Visible = True
'define paths to file
strdocname = "C:\Doc.doc"
If Dir(strdocname) = "" Then
MsgBox "The file" & strdocname & vbCrLf & "was not found " & vbCrLf & "C:\Doc.doc", vbExclamation, "The document does not exist "
Exit Sub
End If
wdapp.Activate
Set wddoc = wdapp.Documents(strdocname)
If wddoc Is Nothing Then Set wddoc = wdapp.Documents.Open(strdocname)
'must activate to be able to paste
wddoc.Activate
wddoc.Range.Paste
Next ws
'Clean up
Set wddoc = Nothing
Set wdapp = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

you can just use:
wddoc.Range(i).Paste
incrementing i by 1 after each image. that pastes them one after another.
or more simply:
wddoc.Range(wddoc.Characters.Count-1).Paste
then could get more complicated and add a page break manually in between each if images are small to ensure a new page for each:
wddoc.Range(wddoc.Characters.Count-1).InsertBreak Type:=7
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff821608.aspx

EDIT
First, I incorrectly assumed the "wddoc.range" property would get wherever the cursor is. This is not true. You need to use the code provided by Miss Palmer (and replicated below).
However, there is an additional issue I didn't notice at first. Your loop is set incorrectly. You are looping through and continually reopening the word doc. You need to move these lines:
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Range("A1:A2").Copy
so that they are immediately above the
wddoc.Range(wddoc.Characters.Count - 1).Paste
line. This will cause the loop to be executed properly and only open the word doc once.
Also (again, per Miss Palmer), you want to put this:
wddoc.Range(wddoc.Characters.Count - 1).Paste
wddoc.Range(wddoc.Characters.Count - 1).InsertBreak (wdPageBreak)after the line:
instead of the ".range.paste" that you originially had.
The other issue with your "Selection" line is that you did not specify the application you wanted to use. This was using Excel's selection by default as it was being run from Excel.
This code assumes that you have a word document that doesn't have enough pages. Otherwise you could likely use the code you want, but it's unclear why you would have a blank word document with many pages. You'd still need to specify the app you want to move to the next page in, so put "wdapp." before the selection line.

Check if Word document closed from Excel VBA

I'm performing several prints of embedded Word document witch has some fields linked to some cells, by my PrintOut macro, in a For..Next loop, as below.
I need after each print task, that the program wait for document to close and then doing the next print.
In this situation I receive error. Can anyone help ?
Sub contract()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 100
Cells(Sheets("SheetName").ListObjects("StaffInfo").ListRows.Count + 9, 8).Value = i
General.PrintIt ("EmbeddedDoc") 'Doc has many linked fields
Next i
End Sub
Print method
Sub PrintIt(P As String)
Dim objWord As Object
Dim ObjDoc As Object
Dim Oshp As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(P).Activate
Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = False
Set ObjDoc = objWord.ActiveDocument
ObjDoc.Fields.Update
For Each Oshp In ObjDoc.Content.ShapeRange
Oshp.TextFrame.TextRange.Fields.Update
Next
ObjDoc.PrintOut Background:=False
ObjDoc.PrintOut
objWord.Quit SaveChanges:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub 'Print it
Introduced problem was solved by this code.
Above code do open and close embedded word document, 100 times, and that problem was happening in close document.
Exactly, I cant understand why closing document immediately after printout command that where after open and update fields, generating that error.
Thus I cleaned the problem ask!
By integrating "PrintIt" method in "Contract" method that is parent of that, without calling "PrintIt" for each document printout, embedded document opens each one, perform doc links updating and printing 100 times in for next loop and close word app and document, at last, each one too.
In short, I cant find reason of problem in several Open-Print-Close document in order immediately; But i change the algorithm to Open-Several print-Close and problem been cleaned!
Sub contract()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

The code I had originally provided was based on your original model, in which the corresponding Worksheet, Table, and Bookmark in each set had a different name.
Now that you have ensured that the names of the objects in each set are identical (which is a better model), try the following procedure. The only difference is that the Scripting.Dictionary has been eliminated, and the Worksheet name is being used to provide both the name of the Table and the name of the Bookmark (since all three values match now).
As before, this one has also been tested in Excel/Word 2016, and is functioning as expected:

If you still receive the same error, then perhaps the Workbook is corrupted. In that case, try doing the following:
Create a new Workbook with one Worksheet
Rename the Worksheet so that its name matches the name of one of the Bookmarks in the Word document
Manually add a single, small, "testing-only" Table to the Worksheet (do not copy/paste one from the original Workbook)
Ensure that the Table's name is the same as the Worksheet's name
Copy/paste the above procedure into a new Module in that Workbook
Save the new Workbook
Ensure your Word document is open, and run the procedure
If that works, then you might consider recreating your entire original Workbook in the new Workbook. When doing so, if your datasets are large enough that you must copy/paste from the Original Workbook, use "Paste Special" with "Values Only" instead of just a normal Paste. Then, re-create any missing formatting manually. That way, it will be less likely that any corruption in the original Workbook will be transferred to the new one.

Pasting a table into open Word document at a bookmark

I have searched a fair bit on this and other forums but I can't get code to work. I know this is user error - I am learning/self-taught at this.
What I want is to copy a (admittedly large) table in a specific Excel worksheet into an already-open Word document, at a specific point. I have seen this done using a keyword search but I would prefer to use a bookmark (and I've made the bookmark thing work!) purely because it's not visible to the end user. I'm trying to automate the creation of a document as much as possible.
The below code works, but I can only get it to work when the Word document in question is closed. If I try to run this sub when the word doc is open, it just tries to re-open it and of course can't. I can't find a neat bit of code that allows me to paste data into an already-open document.
Also, I can make this work for one value, but not for a range (i.e. the table I want to paste).
Sub ExcelRangeToWord()
Dim objWord As Object
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Summary")
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
'Optimize Code
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
'open the word doc
objWord.Documents.Open "K:\Exeter Office\Quotebuilder project\testbed\test.docx" 'change as required
'pastes the value of cell I19 at the "heatlosses" bookmark
With objWord.ActiveDocument
.Bookmarks("heatlosses").Range.Text = ws.Range("I19").Value
End With
'Optimize Code
Set objWord = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
'Clear The Clipboard
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
I'm trying to tackle this one step at a time, cos then I have half a chance of understanding things a bit better...
If I try and copy/paste a range, instead of just one value, I was using Currentregion to select all used cells surrounding B19:
With objWord.ActiveDocument
.Bookmarks("heatlosses").Range.Text = Range("B19").CurrentRegion
End With
All this does is paste the word "True" into Word.
I am baffled. Please, can anyone offer assistance?
Use the code below to achieve what you require:
Sub CopyToWord()
Dim wApp, wDoc
'Get the running word application
Set wApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
'select the open document you want to paste into
Set wDoc = wApp.documents("test.docx")
'copy what you want to paste from excel
Sheet1.Range("A1").copy
'select the word range you want to paste into
wDoc.bookmarks("heatlosses").Select
'and paste the clipboard contents
wApp.Selection.Paste
End Sub

Can not copy from Excel and paste to a Form Edit restricted Word document unless restriction is turned off

I am copying Excel cell contents to a bookmark on a Form Edit restricted (2010) Word document but it will only paste if the protection is turned off.
The code I currently have to turn the protection on again afterwards errors. What is the correct code?
Is there a way to make this copy and paste without turning off the protection?
Second problem is that when the text is pasted to the bookmark the font is Red (if manually entered on the document it is in black). The Word default is set as black (I reset the default for good measure). Typing in a new document is in black, however, when Word opens the font icon shows red even though checking the default it is still shows black. Can I define the font colour in the VBA to override this issue until is is resolved or can you suggest a way to fix the Word default?

Because its a Formfield and not just a bookmark I changing the code as below which resolved the strange red font issue. I can now copy to the document protected.

BrandstetterDoc.Bookmarks("Text65").Range.Text = ws.Range("ARZKrankenhaus").Value
To
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text65").Result = ws.Range("ARZKrankenhaus").Value

Excel VBA: Copy XL named range values to DOC bookmarks, then export to PDF

I'm trying to copy the values from a named range in Excel to a bookmark in Word. I found this code on the web that does it in Excel VBA, but I'm getting an Error 13.
Set pappWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set docWord = pappWord.Documents.Add(Path)
'Loop through names in the activeworkbook
For Each xlName In wb.Names
'if xlName's name is existing in document then put the value in place of the bookmark
If docWord.Bookmarks.Exists(xlName.Name) Then
docWord.Bookmarks(xlName.Name).Range.Text = Range(xlName.Value)
End If
Next xlName
'Activate word and display document
With pappWord
.Visible = True
.ActiveWindow.WindowState = 0
.Activate
End With
I know that the line that is causing the error is:
docWord.Bookmarks(xlName.Name).Range.Text = Range(xlName.Value)
What am i doing wrong? Also, how & where would I code so that I can export the doc to PDF?
Thanks in advance.
Note: I've already selected the reference to the Microsoft Word (version number 14) Object model in Excel
so I use it to accomplish this task but taking an image from formatted Excel table.
Sub FromExcelToWord()
Dim rg As Range
For Each xlName In wb.Names
If docWord.Bookmarks.Exists(xlName.Name) Then
Set rg = Range(xlName.Value)
rg.Copy
docWord.ActiveWindow.Selection.Goto what:=-1, Name:=xlName.Name
docWord.ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteSpecial link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteEnhancedMetafile, Placement:= _
0, DisplayAsIcon:=False
End If
Next xlName
End Sub
Just curious... Why are you adding a document rather than opening the relevant doc which has the bookmarks? Try this code (I usually test the code before posting but I haven't tested this particular code. Just quickly wrote it)
Also I am using Late Binding so no reference to the Word Object Library is required.
Sub Sample()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim pappWord As Object, docWord As Object
Dim FlName As String
Dim xlName As Name
FlName = "C:\MyDoc.Doc" '<~~ Name of the file which has bookmarks
'~~> Establish an Word application object
On Error Resume Next
Set pappWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set pappWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0
Set docWord = pappWord.Documents.Open(FlName)
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
For Each xlName In wb.Names
'if xlName's name is existing in document then put the value in place of the bookmark
If docWord.Bookmarks.Exists(xlName.Name) Then
docWord.Bookmarks(xlName.Name).Range.Text = Range(xlName).Value
End If
Next xlName
'Activate word and display document
With pappWord
.Visible = True
.ActiveWindow.WindowState = 0
.Activate
End With
End Sub
EDIT
Changed
Range(xlName.Value)
to
Range(xlName).Value
Now the above code is TRIED AND TESTED :)
