If you have that number in a TextObject you could use this:

Set z = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TXyourtextID")

  z.CopyTextToClipboard

  wrksht.Range("A1").Select

  wrksht.paste

Or you could set a variable with your value and the use this at the macro to get the value as String:

varValue = ActiveDocument.Variables("yourVariableWithTheValue").GetContent.String

There are a few ways to do it, just try or search "convert to string vbs" in google

Hope this helps, regards
