Trying to Create a table with 2 columns and 9 rows in word, using Excel VBA

Hey there, don't know what I'm meant to do here
My aim here is to create a table in a microsoft word document, using one of my microsoft excel macros
My code so far creates a word document

Dim WordApp As Word.Application
Set WordApp = New Word.Application
WordApp.Documents.Add Template:="Normal", NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
WordApp.Visible = True

Then writes a few things, adds a paragraph

WordApp.Selection.TypeText Text:="abcdefg"
WordApp.Selection.TypeParagraph

Now I want to make it create a table, with 2 columns and 9 rows, with normal black cell borders, however the code to do that when I try to record a macro looks extremely complicated, and I can't figure out where to write "WordApp" at the start to get it to apply that code to my word document
Here's the code it tells me to write

ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=9, NumColumns:= _
2, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, AutoFitBehavior:= _
wdAutoFitFixed
With Selection.Tables(1)
If .Style <> "Table Grid" Then
.Style = "Table Grid"
End If
.ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True
.ApplyStyleLastRow = False
.ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True
.ApplyStyleLastColumn = False
.ApplyStyleRowBands = True
.ApplyStyleColumnBands = False
End With

Not sure what to do here to get this table created, anyone know how I can do it?
Thank you for reading this through!!! Also apologies for bad formatting, excelling at 2am is rough stuff

if this is what ms word spit out for you:

really all you should have to do is just qualify all this code with your WordApp application object. does that make sense? I don't work a lot with word, but I would guess lines of code like this would work:

do you see what I inserted?

Nope soz, still not working, says something about error 450

well that doesn't help. how about a little more description? got an image? screenshot? upload a file? I'm simply giving you the tools to do it. hopefully I'm providing something of value.

Yes, apologies for not providing enough information
Debugger gives this
Attachment 691183

While the error that it throws up says this
Attachment 691184

I'm very much a noob at this, never really done any computer science stuff before, so sorry if I seem a bit clueless as to what I should be doing

LOL. That's funny. You know what's even funnier? I've only taken one college course in my life and that was an introduction to Java programming and the only thing we ever did for 6 months straight was print text out to the screen. What a waste of money for me that was. And everybody here is a newbie otherwise you wouldn't be posting questions right? :-) so if someone else doesn't respond here I'll take a look when I get back home I'm traveling at the moment. Thank you for uploading the images by the way that helps.

Cubic,

I'm sorry but for some reason I cannot view attachments when they are uploaded they way you uploaded the last 2. I have no idea what the issue is, but I ran into this with someone else today too. Can you let us know what process you are going through to get those links in your post that start with the word ""Attachment""?? If you go through the following process, the images should automatically be embedded in your posts, plus be attached to the post below the posting text box:

=> click "go advanced" below the box where the posting text goes.
=> click the link called ""manage attachments"" below the posting text box.
=> click the ""browse"" button
=> select the file
=> click the ""upload"" button
=> click ""close this window"" at the bottom.

I'll have a go putting them in using that method, both attachments should be in there now, one is what the debugger gives me when I activate it, the other is the error message it throws up when I try and run the code

when I used ms word to do what you wanted, which is the following, according to what you said:

Now I want to make it create a table, with 2 columns and 9 rows, with normal black cell borders

this is the code that it gave me:

so, in order to make it work, all you have to do is add what I said earlier. the qualifying object to the code. and that object is the word application. like this:

and then, from the Microsoft documentation which should always work if you follow the instructions, you need this apparently:

so, the whole thing, which you might like, but you certainly can modify it to your liking, would be this:

and this is what you need to look at (any many other pages from microsoft. they have oodles of this information. you can learn greatly from these pages!):
