Thanks so much for your input.
I'm basically moving content from several columns in a single excel file, to cells in a table in the word file.
For instance:
column G of the excel will be placed cell by cell into column 2 of the table
column J of the excel will be placed cell by cell into column 3 of the table
...and so on
I've checked that "nextrecord" is never repeated in a cell in the word file.
