Default How to prevent a cell to disappear

Hi,




I have a macro that copy/paste a table from Excel to Word.

The table has 3 columns (last one can be empty) and a variable number of rows



Everything works fine except that when the the text in the 2nd column is longer than the size of the cell and the last cell of the row is empty, this cell dispappear and is replaced by the 2nd cell...


See attached picture:



How can I avoid this?


Thanks ;-)

Select the column B of the used range, right click the selection and select Format Cells Menu, in Alingment enable "Wrap text" option, do this before copy to word.
To insert this procedure into your macro you can do something like this:
oRange.columns(2).wraptext=true
Backup before test.

The "wrap text" option works in Excel but once pasted in Word the cell disappear as you can see on these pictures:








Here's my code:


Code:
Sub ExportInvNL()

Dim wdApp As Object
Dim wd As Object
Dim xlSheet As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Const wdReplaceAll As Long = 2
Const wdFindContinue As Long = 1

On Error Resume Next
Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0

Set wd = wdApp.Documents.Add("C:\Users\laure\Documents\Boulot\TestInventarisNL.docx")
wdApp.Visible = True

Set xlSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("INV")
With xlSheet
    LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    Set rng = .Range("A2:C" & LastRow)
    rng.Copy
    With wd.Range
        .Collapse Direction:=0
        .InsertParagraphAfter
        .PasteSpecial DataType:=1
        With .Find
            .ClearFormatting
            .Text = vbTab
            .Replacement.ClearFormatting
            .Replacement.Text = " "
            .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll, Forward:=True, Wrap:=wdFindContinue
        End With
    End With
End With

 End Sub

I could put a blank character in column C and that works but I thought maybe there's a more "clean" solution...

Try that (backup before doing any modification):
after Set rng statement:
Code:
rng.Cells.WrapText = True
Modify:
Code:
.PasteSpecial DataType:=1
To:
Code:
.Paste

The wraptext doesn't change anything and replacing pastespecial by paste gives this:

There's nothing wrong with the pasted table.
I think that you just need to adjust column width.
The last cell is empty so it's have a minimum width.
Try:

.PasteAndFormat wdSingleCellTable

The way I've done this in the past is to change the font size in Excel to something tiny eg 2pt before copying, then after pasting into Word, reset the font size to whatever you wanted to have.
