Export data from excel to word using VBA

Question

I want to export data from a spreadsheet such as name, date of birth, address etc to a letter that I'm writing in word.

I've been following this tutorial :

I've had success in populating the information in word using a command button, but i don't want the ugly grey button in word so i tried making a macro and pasted the same script into a macro vba.

here is the script I'm using when trying to make the macro:

Sub Macro1()

Dim objExcel As Object
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Set exWb = objExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Case Log.xlsx")

ThisDocument.solicitor.Caption = exWb.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(4, 3)

exWb.Close

Set exWb = Nothing

End Sub

when i run the macro it highlights the word "solicitor" and displays the message "Compile error: Method or data member not found"

I've checked and rechecked and the label name is correct, it works with the command button, i don't understand why it shouldn't work as a macro.

Any helps would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

I found a native solution for doing this. Mail Merge! I set one up and saved it, now everytime I open the document, it loads all the info from the spreadsheet which it is already pointing to.

Thanks for all the suggestions
