How to display text object content in Header(MS Word) using Macro

I am using Macro to export the tables(in a word document).

Here is the macro

sub exportTable

on error resume next


set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

objWord.visible = true

path = ActiveDocument.Evaluate("'$(QvWorkPath)\'")

'msgbox(path + "Templates\Trame BS.docx")

set objDoc=objWord.Documents.Open(path + "Templates\Sample.docx",true,false)

for i = 1 to 11

ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("BC"& i ).CopyTableToClipboard (true)

Set rng = objDoc.Content

rng.Find.execute("<BS" & i & ">")

If rng.Find.Found = True Then

  'msgbox("found")

  rng.select

  objWord.Selection.Paste

end if

next

objDoc.SaveAs path + "Templates\BS_TMP.docx"

'objDoc.Close

set objDoc=nothing

'objWord.quit

set objWord=nothing

end sub

I need to display one text object content in Headers of all pages in Word document.

If anyone has written VB script for Headers, please share it.

Thanks

Can you try this

sub exportTable

on error resume next


set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

objWord.visible = true

path = ActiveDocument.Evaluate("'$(QvWorkPath)\'")

'msgbox(path + "Templates\Trame BS.docx")

set objDoc=objWord.Documents.Open(path + "Templates\Sample.docx",true,false)

for i = 1 to 11

ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("BC"& i ).CopyTableTextToClipboard (true)

Set rng = objDoc.Content

rng.Find.execute("<BS" & i & ">")

If rng.Find.Found = True Then

  'msgbox("found")

  rng.select

  objWord.Selection.Paste

end if

next

objDoc.SaveAs path + "Templates\BS_TMP.docx"

'objDoc.Close

set objDoc=nothing

'objWord.quit

set objWord=nothing

end sub

Thank you for your reply.  I have tried CopyTextToClipboard. I got content of the text object.

How to use it in Headers(VB script) in Word?

Anil_Babu_Samineni

Yes, Good to hear. Now check this to get headers

Const ForReading = 1

Const ForWriting = 2

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("DriveReport.txt", ForReading)

strContents = objFile.ReadAll

objFile.Close

strFirstLine = "Server" & vbTab & vbtab & "Drive" & vbtab & "Size" & vbtab & "Used" & vbtab & "Free" & vbtab & "Free(%)"

strNewContents = strFirstLine & vbCrLf & strContents

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("DriveReport.txt", ForWriting)

objFile.WriteLine strNewContents

objFile.Close

And then club for text and headers then see, How seems work and let us know. We may can help you for final script

Thanks Rahul.

I have attached a image for your reference(you can see two text objects ID in the header)textobject.pngheader.png

This is the script to paste text object content in Word.  I want to paste it in Headers (every page) of Word Document

for i = 1 to 20

           ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("BDU_"& 2).CopyTextToClipboard 'true

           Set rng = objDoc.Content

                 rng.Find.execute("<BDU_" & 2 & ">")

            If rng.Find.Found = True Then

                 'msgbox("found")

                 rng.select

                 objWord.Selection.Paste

       end if

  next

For reference : HeadersFooters Object (Word)

What you done with these 2 objects? Can you elaborate more. Would you get a chance to send that content to Word. If so, What was the next forward. Would you describe more your intend to show headers as well

BTW - I am the Anil

Thanks Anil. I am ajay.

I am working on a report.  I change the object id in pivot table and I use a loop to display the table in the word.

In the word document, I have to display the year selected and region inside the Headers. The tag for year is <BDU_2> and for region is <BDU_3>.  When i click the button in App, macro will generate word doc.


I used headers in Word to display year and region name. With the above macro, Its not working for header section.
