Hi,
I am automating a mailmerge from a datasheet in excel to a word document.  
The user enters data into the excel spreadsheet and then uses a userform to
activate the mailmerge process.

What are the commands to manipulate tables?
I have a table containing two columns. Column a contains words and
b sentences. I would like to look in column b for the words that

I have a signed VB project which is somehow being modified and thus the
signature is being discarded. I know the users aren't modifying the
code through the VBIDE and my project doesn't use VBE to modify itself,
so what other actions could mark a VB project as 'dirty'?

Still learning ...
 What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of embedding
MS-Word Formfields into the document or 'regular' MS-Forms controls?

In Excel a VBA procedure loads a Word document and fills in some tables.
During this job, I need the Word document stays hidden. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to read data from word formfields without using automation?
Is there an alternative (free) library to use?

Essentially this is what I am trying to do:
I have multiple documents that I use based upon requirements.
If I have multiple requirements I need to combine parts of different
documents together.  Cut and Paste.
