Hi all,
I am trying to create a word file to use with another macro. I need to select some text and make it hyperlink that I copy/cut from a line below (it is automatically generated in Excel and linked/updated at the time of opening the doc). The result is cut and saved into separate Word files, as part of a big batch file.



So far I scroll, select and cut the hyperlink text I need. Then I go back several numbers to select the reference and run a subroutine to paste in the hyperlink text onto my selection.


What I encounter is error "DataObject:getfromclipboard openclipboard failed". I debug, yellow arrow at "MyData.GetFromClipboard" and when clicked the green arrow (F5) it goes through as expected.



I can't get it done in one go. What I am doing wrong?

Sorry, I am "copypaster" only. My suspicion is that CUT does not put into Clipboard, so I tried to COPY and then cut, and both...

P.S. An example of the text in Bulgarian (I am not)
