Dear Ashish, The columns are fixed. The number of rows is not. The rows are deleted, depending upon whether or not data is entered in them. E.g. sometimes a table may have 20 rows, sometimes 30 and sometimes only 3.
To give an idea behind the whole thing: 1. I have a comprehensive word template ~ 100 pages. Where-in lots of tables are completely deleted, and in certain tables - specific rows are deleted depending upon whether or not any data is entered in those rows. All in all, the final report comes out to only 40-50 pages. 2. Though the word template works fine, almost half of the time is spent in "deleting rows", "deleting tables" and providing suitable "page-breaks" etc... to make the whole thing presentable. 3. Also, a lot of erroneous entries are made by the user when entering the data - such as wrong values (31 instead of 13), misplaced decimal points (13.1 instead of 1,31) etc... 4. The idea of using Excel is to firstly control the data entry (using conditional formatting, or data validation rules) so that incorrect values are flagged and secondly to automate the deletion of undesired tables or specific rows, as the case may be - this using VBA. This part is all working fine in my Excel template. 5. However, as I said earlier, the final submission has to be in Word, and so I need to transfer all these 30-40 Excel Worksheets on a Word document, one behind the other, which is also working fine. I get the whole data copy-pasted in exactly the same order as desired. 6. The only issue where I struggle is with "Column Width". When I copy-paste from Excel to Word using VBA, the Column-Widths change for certain cells and I'm unable to figure out why it is so; and also unable to figure out any alternate methods to do so. Any guidance with this Column Width issue?
