Transfer Error - Excel to Word

*Before Moderators close this thread - it is a separate question to the two other posts I have under Excel Forum*

Hello,

I'm trying to push information from Excel to Word - I've got the macro/vba in the excel spreadsheet working, however when it hits the Word document it comes up with =TransferXYZ for every bookmarked section.

Can someone explain what I've done wrong in the Word Document. All of my researching lead me to believe that I needed to do a 'range' in excel, then to name the bookmarks the same 'range name' so that it knew where the information was to be dispursed.

I'm sure it's something easy, I just can't find anything on google to lead me otherwise.....

I've attached the excel spreadsheet - the macro code is BC Merge.

I've attached a saved copy of the word document that keeps getting produced when activating the merge.

Thanks - Pip

Hi Paul, I made that change and now come back with an Error 13...

Hi again, i'm a little confused. How has my report picked up the rows that are the headers of the spreadsheet - which is what the metadata equates to? None of my cells in excel span more than one cell. They are all singular.

Is there any chance you can show me what you are talking about in my actual register?

Wait - Issue Type and Issue Cause are drop down fields - would this be causing the issue with the 'metadata'?

Mate - I worked it out! Was just a naming convention that was incorrect.
Thanks sooooo much for your help!!!
