That is not an error message. It simply reports what is on the clipboard. Clearly you haven't copied the text from Excel as it is showing the code listing you copied from the forum.
If you want to include the collection of data from the worksheet then you may need to make some changes to:
Code:
Sub BayTag()
Dim sValue As String
sValue = GetExcelData
If Not sValue = "" Then
If MsgBox("Paste the value :" & vbCr & sValue, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
AddPara ActiveDocument, sValue
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Function GetExcelData() As String
Dim strWorkbook As String: strWorkbook = "C:\Path\Job Aid Bay.xlsm" 'The path of the workbook
Dim xlApp As Object
Dim xlBook As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set xlApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err Then
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(FileName:=strWorkbook)
xlApp.Visible = True
GetExcelData = xlBook.Sheets("MAIN").Range("B12") 'the Excel cell to copy
xlBook.Close savechanges:=False
lbl_Exit:
Err.Clear
Set xlBook = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing
Exit Function
End Function
Private Sub AddPara(oDoc As Document, sText As String)
Dim oRng As Range
Dim oShape As Range
Dim bProtected As Boolean
'Unprotect the file
If oDoc.Tables.Count < 3 Then
MsgBox "Incompatible document", vbCritical
GoTo lbl_Exit
End If
If Not oDoc.ProtectionType = wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
oDoc.Unprotect Password:=""
End If
Set oRng = oDoc.Tables(3).Range.Cells(2).Range
oRng.End = oRng.End - 1
'If you want to keep the content of the text box.....
If oRng.ShapeRange.Count > 0 Then
oRng.ShapeRange(1).Select
Set oShape = oDoc.Tables(3).Range.Cells(4).Range
oShape.Collapse 1
oShape.Text = vbCr
oShape.Collapse 0
oShape.FormattedText = Selection.FormattedText
End If
'..... end of text box code
oRng.Text = sText
'Reprotect the document.
If bProtected = True Then
oDoc.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, _

Password:=""
End If
lbl_Exit:
