Thanks. Ok, in this case, I would prefer to run the process from Excel.

The Excel Macro should then select and copy A1 : D300, open a WORD document from a template (this template, however, cannot be stored in a location which can be accessed by all users of the Excel workbook; therefore, it would be good if we can "implement" the Word template into the Excel workbook - if this is not possible, I will find a way to store the Word template in a shared folder which everybody can access...), paste columns 1 and 4, delete rows with "abcd1234" in Column 1.

Many thanks,

Fin
