    Resolved [RESOLVED] Selecting text

    I have a small macro I have written to take data from excel to populate word and have a slight problem. Here is a sample of the way I am doing it:

    Code:
    wrd.ChangeFileOpenDirectory _
    "\\BTBEAPDAT01\DATA_BEACON_HOUSE\NCC\Tier3 RP|Damian Templates"
    wrd.Documents.Open FileName:="T66 TV Payment Letter.doc", ReadOnly:=True, AddToRecentFiles:=False
    
    wordarray = Array(add1, add2, add3, add4, add5, blank, Pol1, yourref, OurRef, cudate, Salutation, para1, para2, para3, para4, para5, para6, para7, para8, para9, para10, name, position)
    
    wrd.ActiveDocument.Fields(1).Select
        With wrd.Selection
        .InsertAfter Text:=addressee
        End With
    
    For wrdroutine = 0 To 21
            wrd.Selection.NextField.Select
                With wrd.Selection
                .InsertAfter Text:=wordarray(wrdroutine)
                End With
    
        Next
    my problem is that there are 10 possible paragraphs that I have and this code inserts them all.

    What I want to be able to do is input only paragraphs if they are sleected to be input on excel. I have input check boxes so the use can select if theyw ant that paragraph input.

    I have the selected paragraphs highlighted in excel like this:

    Paragraphs used :
    2 TRUE
    3 TRUE
    4 FALSE
    5 TRUE
    6 TRUE
    7 TRUE
    8 TRUE
    9 FALSE
    10 TRUE

    What I want to do is get the VB to recognise if a paragraph is not to be used and then so for the above the wordarray would be like this:

    wordarray = Array(add1, add2, add3, add4, add5, blank, Pol1, yourref, OurRef, cudate, Salutation, para1, para3, para4, para5, para6, para7, para8, para10, name, position, blank, blank)

    So it would omit para2 & para10 and instead leave the last 2 fields blank.

    Can this be done?

    many thanks

    Re: Selecting text

    thanks for the reply, I am unable to upload the excel doc and unbale to compress it to upload as my company have limited what we can do on our computers!

    I have uploaded the MS word doc, here is the full code I am using in excel:

    Code:
    Sub Printletter()
    
     Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    
    Pol1 = Range("C4")
    TVamount = Range("E4")
    Claimno = Range("G4")
    PSO = Range("I4")
    phsurname = Range("C16")
    phfirstname = Range("C18")
    dob = Range("C20")
    OurRef = Range("E14")
    yourref = Range("E16")
    othersal = Range("E18")
    scheme = Range("E20")
    add1 = Range("E22")
    add2 = Range("E23")
    add3 = Range("E24")
    add4 = Range("E25")
    ch = Range("C30")
    percentage = Range("E30")
    
    
    Sheets("Signed").Select
    Signed = Range("C1")
    Position = Range("D1")
    trans = Range("H3")
    Name = Range("H9")
    cudate = Range("G16")
    
    
    Sheets("Output").Select
    
        addressee = Range("A1")
    
    'paras to be used:
        para1 = Range("M66")
        para2 = Range("M67")
        para3 = Range("M68")
        para4 = Range("M69")
        para5 = Range("M70")
        para6 = Range("M71")
        para7 = Range("M72")
        para8 = Range("M73")
        para9 = Range("M74")
        para10 = Range("M75")
      
        
        'On Error GoTo NoWord
        Set wrd = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    
        GoTo continue
    NoWord:
        MsgBox ("Please Open MS Word application & try again." & Chr(13) & _
        "If MS Word is open the macro has encountered another problem." & Chr(13) & _
        "Please try again. If the problem persists please contact Damian Reid.")
        End
    
    continue:
    
    
    wrd.ChangeFileOpenDirectory _
    "\\BTBEAPDAT01\DATA_BEACON_HOUSE\NCC\Tier3 RP\Damian Templates"
    wrd.Documents.Open FileName:="T66 TV Payment Letter.doc", ReadOnly:=True, AddToRecentFiles:=False
    
    'wordarray = Array(Inputtext1,
    
    wrd.ActiveDocument.Fields(1).Select
        With wrd.Selection
        .InsertAfter Text:=addressee
        End With
    
          
    
      For wrdroutine = 0 To 23
        Set f = wrd.Selection.NextField
        wrd.Selection.NextField.Select
        With wrd.Selection
          .InsertAfter Text:=wordarray(wrdroutine)
          End With
      Next
        
      End
    
    
    
    End Sub
    The big problem is try to ascertain which para to use, sometimes it may only para 3, 4 & 7 and others we may need paras 5, 6 & 10!

    thanks

    Re: Selecting text

    seem to have conquered this after a lot of thought for anyone that is interested, inserted this once the word doc was opened and populated with the first bits of text (eg name address fields):

    Code:
        ROW = 64
        field = 16
        
        For rowcount = 0 To 9
        
        ROW = ROW + 1
        
        P = Range("L" & ROW)
        If P = True Then
        par = Range("M" & ROW)
        
    Wrd.ActiveDocument.Fields(field).Select
        With Wrd.Selection
        .InsertAfter Text:=par
        End With
        
        field = field + 1
        
        End If
        
        Next
