You are making this a lot more complex than it needs to be. Since you kicked off the code from Excel, there should be no reason to run code independently in word.

You didn't supply the macro called Create_Reset_Variables so we don't know what is going on there but the CallUF macro looks like you might be trying to show a userform that you just created so at best it would be a blank bit of grey on the page even if it could work.

Get rid of the Set field - you can add a line in the Excel code to write that value into the Word document. Also disable the AutoNew macro until you can describe to us what you actually want that code to do. You should be doing that processing in the Excel macro that created the new document. The userform you want to create should probably also be in the Excel workbook but we can't figure out what that is meant to achieve yet based on what you supplied.
