Paste number from EXCEL to WORD and retain formatting

Guys,

I am importing a data table from Excel into word. All works well except for the first column of my data, which contains numbers formatted as currency. I am using a bunch of loops to transfer the data into word, and for each cell the code looks like this:

docRow.Cells(column - 2).range.Text = Worksheets(iw).Cells(iwwww, column).Value

Is there a way to tweak the code and preserve the formatting when I am importing numbers into word?

I tried the following code but it gives me type mismatch error:

                For column = 3 To 11
                    If column = 3 Then
                    docRow.Cells(column - 2).range.Text = Format(Worksheets(iw).Cells(iwwww, column).Value, [currency])
                    Else
                    docRow.Cells(column - 2).range.Text = Worksheets(iw).Cells(iwwww, column).Value
                    End If
                Next

Thanks,

D.
