The two example macros below demonstrates how you can send information to Word (e.g. creating a new document) and how you can retrieve information from Word (e.g. reading information from a document).

Note! Read and edit the example code before you try to execute it in your own project!

Sub CreateNewWordDoc()
' to test this code, paste it into an Excel module
' add a reference to the Word-library
' create a new folder named C:\Foldername or edit the filnames in the code

Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim i As Integer
    Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    wrdApp.Visible = True
    Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add ' create a new document
    ' or
    'Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open("C:\Foldername\Filename.doc") 
    ' open an existing document
    ' example word operations
    With wrdDoc
        For i = 1 To 100
            .Content.InsertAfter "Here is a example test line #" & i
            .Content.InsertParagraphAfter
        Next i
        If Dir("C:\Foldername\MyNewWordDoc.doc") <> "" Then
            Kill "C:\Foldername\MyNewWordDoc.doc"
        End If
        .SaveAs ("C:\Foldername\MyNewWordDoc.doc")
