Man, I have no words, your video is the best guide of VBA I've ever seen, you're a great teacher! Thank you so much
Ah thank you Bruno, I really appreciate that!
I would give this 5 likes if I could. Not only is this great material, but it is also worth studying. There are so many tips and answers here. Your level of explanation is perfect.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for all the videos you've produced. They have taken me a long way from "novice" to producing outstanding content in a very short period of time.
I like the speed you go at (I can always step back if I need to) because the amount of information is incredible. I LEARN from your videos.
Thank you!
This is absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for the video, you walked through everything so well and covered so many great scenarios. Thank you!
You are simply brilliant Andrew. I haven't left with any words to thank you. I am just addicted to your videos.
You are just amazing. I am actually learning computer programming via all the courses you are presenting. I will be making a donation as you are really helping me out in my career! thank you so much Andrew. Also the book you have written is amazing. I think it is the go to guide for VBA.
Dear Andrew, it's a pleasure to watch your videos! You have the great ability to be essential, but at the same time do not overlook any detail you need to understand exactly how the program works. Really at any time of the day I watch your lessons, even after a hard day's work. I really believe that you are a very intelligent person and also admirable for having made available to all your innate professional and teaching skills.
Thank you not just for the VBA, as at the same time I'm also improving my English.
I do not know if and when I can visit England, but I would be extremely pleased to congratulate you on getting to know you personally. Who knows ... maybe one day we will meet.
Thank you very much.
This tutorial stands out among all other UA-cam videos discussing the topic Excel VBA - Word. Thanks Andrew.
Thank you for the kind words!
Hardworking in commenting and Simple.
My raise hand.
Thank you
What a great video, just as the rest of them on your channel. I'd like to thank you for sharing your knowledge and give thorough explanations which is what I usually look for, not simply being given the right instructions to use. One of the things I struggled most with was the use of the CreateObject or Set...New. I saw them used many times but I couldn't tell the difference. Now it's pretty clear what they're for and the advantages and disadvantages of using one option or the other. Superb work :)
Another smashing hit!
Your videos are top quality, your explanations are clear, your examples are focused, and your coverage of the issues is comprehensive.
Your UA-cam channel is a treasure trove, nothing less.
Thank you for doing this!
I second watcherRA. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these tutorials and being so generous with your tips and details.
AMAZING, just came across your video and I have to say I don't think anyone could have done a better job. It's amazing how much depth you provide, along with making it simple to understand. LOVE IT!!! Thank you
Hi, I want to thank you for all of your great videos on vba. I've got a lot of help over the last years from you and, I LOVE the way you say "reference". Please throw more references in there and keep up the good work
Extremely detailed and easy to understand, this video is more helpful than the VBA courses I've had before, thank you so much.
This is a beautifully made tutorial. You are amazingly knowledgeable and are fantastic at conveying that knowledge. Thank YOU!
Thank you! Happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment!

simply amazing
Thank you so much! Superb! Would u please guide me the code for making two pages in word documents for two separate ranges in Excel!
This is so much.... Thanks Andrew
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed this video too and thank you for watching!
Hello, thanks very much for the video.
How can you save the Word document with a unique name, thats perhaps references a cell in the Excel Worksheet?
For someone in future, if you are looking to copy embedded chart you should use something like this in your code:
Dim MyChart As ChartObject
Set MyChart = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DOC").ChartObjects("Chart 1")
MyChart.Chart.ChartArea.Copy
.Selection.GoTo what:=-1, Name:="ChartLocation"
.Selection.Paste
Hi Matiss, thanks for this, we do cover referencing ChartObjects in a separate video ua-cam.com/video/buRwtzVw7UQ/v-deo.html but it's always useful to have tips like this around to help remind people. Thanks for taking the time to add it and for watching!
awesome video!
Excellent Video! Just wondering if I can SaveAs my document using data from a cell in my document title?
Thanks ,
Perfect way of exlpanation
You're very welcome, thank you for the comment!
Well explained video and was super easy to follow. How would you take cells out of the excel table and insert into word document in a custom table that is created with VBA code?
thank you wise owl
You're welcome Deepak, thanks for watching!
дядька просто лучший
Thanks!
Amazing techniques of the tutor. Very well prepared
Thank you very much!
You're very welcome Fabian, thank you for watching!
Hi Andrew, yours are the best delivered tutorials on UA-cam bar none. I'm less than a newbie in VBA and may have missed this but is there a way of personalising each email - e.g. "Hi ,"? while still adding attachments?
It is possible to generate a word template from every excel row individually. In excel I need a button to appear on every new row I populate with data and the button must open the word template that was fill with the data that I populate the row. And also i need the autofill word template to be save in a specified location. Thank you!
Great Vid! Would a similar thing be done if you wanted to populate a word report with data from excel. i.e. you had a standard MS word report that said something like.
"Since the last report X people have signed up with the company and Y people have retired" where you want to populate the X and Y with values from an excel sheet?
Hi!, there are any chances that you make a tutorial or at least offer a link about manipulate style list from excel vba, with data (like items, if they use number or dots, the level of the item) on a table, for give format in word?
This is great! How can I get my data to automatically scale to fit the word document? The data in Excel fits within the page guidelines, but it does not when I transfer it to Word.
great video and it works perfectly so thanks! I would like to add something else to this but I'm not sure how....> my table that I am importing to word has some cells that contain formulas that are returning null-strings. Unfortunately when the table is imported to word it imports the blank rows. I could of course just delete them after they have been imported, however I thought Id ask if there was a way using VBA code when selecting the columns to be sent to word, to ignore all cells containing null-strings? currently i could have values on row a, nothing on row b, values on row c etc in any order. I only want VBA to take data from the table of values that contains a value, and I do not want gaps between. I dont necesarily want to remove the formula or the null-string from the Excel document its self, I just want it to ignore those cells when exporting and sort it in such a way that there are no gaps where nullstrings would have been.
Hello Andrew. Thanks for the great video tutorial! I was hoping that you might post a video (or perhaps reply with the code) to copy only specific cells from excel to the bookmarks in word. In my job I put together contracts that have repetitive information and I wanted to put together a one page "Questionnaire" (for lack of a better term) to inject the "answers" into whichever page of the word doc it relates to using the bookmark method. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
thank you!
That helped me a lot thanks :-) !
***** I ran into trouble recently, I'm trying to insert a word table to a bookmark location but sadly I can't get it working :-( I'd be very thankful if you could help me :-)
Is anyone else getting an error in the SaveAs2 line at the 29:30 mark? It says to check the path or select a file from the list.... any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for the excellent video.
I can paste data into bookmarks and am using .Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText so the information within cells is pasted as text at the bookmark location within a paragraph. However, doing so removes the bookmark and the reference for subsequent cross-referenced text.
How can I paste data from Excel into Bookmarks in Word and still retain the bookmark for cross-referencing?
Thanks again :)
Can we copy an image from a perticular page of word doc and paste in PPT with VBA? Please help.
Pls suggest VBA code to copy specific selections from one Word file to another, by opening data from one file and copying it to other using VBA. Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks a ton sir 😘
You're very welcome Arvind!
Hi Andrew, first I would like to say your videos are great, and can't believe this to be free!!
Anyways, I would like to know if I could edit a word file like a contract, and change the data within using my excel worksheet.
For instance, I only use "find-replace" to edit manually, but I would like to automate it if possible?
great video. I am trying to copy a table range from word to excel. I am stuck with word vba syntax. wDoc.Tables(1).cell(2,2) to cell(3,9) can you please help me. Thanks in advance.
i learnt online and created a VBA code for excel 2016 on macbook.
however, the syntax is probably a little different for ios.
can someone help me with it?
thanks
Hi Andrew, would be happy if you could solve this for me..tried googling but no much information - "how to possibly embed the word doc or the excel itself in the powerpoint presentation? ." . . . Thank you in advance
I was having some difficulties using the Format function for the date -- (compile error: Wrong number of args...). I solved by writing in: VBA.Format(arguments). There is another function in the intellisense called: format (with a lowercase f). Do you have any idea where this function comes from?
Hello: please advise how to center a text vertically (as Page Setup/Layout/Page/Center). Also, please advise how to enter a new page in the created word document (as page break). In your video you showed how to enter a new line (with .TypeText vbnewline) or new paragraph (.Typeparagraph). Thank you.
I could not done Mail merge with Excel XLSM FILE Plese tell me how can i do this
Thanks for this excellent tutorial.
How can the cell heights and widths be retained when copied over to Word?
+WiseOwlTutorials Thanks. With a slight tweek I used:
Range("A1", "I56").CopyPicture
wdapp.Selection.Paste
"Current region" seems to select one cell only.
Hi. I have a question if anyone can help me out. I'm trying to locate a bookmark inside a textbox (in my Word Document), but when I run the code in excel VBA says error 5678: Word can't find the specified bookmark. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi, I had a query. If we use late binding in vba then there is no need for word,outlook,etc. library but when i did that the actions(object.action) that you use in this video gave an error as variable not defined which should not happen, as you said that people tend to program using early binding and then convert later to late binding.
The line that gave me the error was '.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter'.
WiseOwlTutorials I got confused since it was not working. Thanks :)
I really appreciate your tutorials Andrew, they helped me learn a lot.
One thing I would advise you to do is that get the different sections inside the description box and youtube will create navigation panes for the video and that way it will be easier to navigate to specific sections of tutorials.
Thanks yes, we've been adding chapters to all of the videos we release for the past six months or so. We haven't had the time to go back to the hundreds of older videos to do the same yet!
I'm happy to hear that you found the video useful anyway, thank you for watching and for sharing that tip!
@@WiseOwlTutorialsOhh I see, I understand it will take quite a long time to do that for each video.
Much Appreciated😊
@@m.mohtashim2000 Indeed it will - I wish we hadn't made so many videos now!
@@WiseOwlTutorials Can I make a request to you. Can you please make an in-depth tutorial on word macros as well.
@@m.mohtashim2000 Hi there! I don't think it's very likely that we'll have an entire series on Word macros although we will probably have the occasional video involving Word.
