For years, the standard I’ve used for updating all fields (with the exception of TOC, etc. which are handled separately) in a document is the one the Word MVPs use and recommend, which I’ll copy here. It comes from Greg Maxey’s site: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/word_fields.html. One thing it does that I don’t see in your version is … Read more
Good question this one, you can loop through the whole document using the Selection.Find.Found result. What you do is start a search and if you find a result go into a loop only while the Selection.Find.Found result is true. Once you’ve got through these, you’re done. The following code should do the trick nicely for … Read more

The Aspose.Words component can do this reliably (I’m not affiliated or anything). iTextSharp does not have the required feature set to load and process MS Word file formats.
It’s been a long time since I asked this question, and my solution has undergone more and more refinement. I’ve had to deal with all sorts of special cases, such as values that come directly from the workbook, sections that need to be specially generated based on lists, and the need to do replacements in … Read more
Answer taken from: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36875 Here is some code that reads a table from Word into the active worksheet of Excel. It prompts you for the word document as well as the table number if Word contains more than one table. Sub ImportWordTable() Dim wdDoc As Object Dim wdFileName As Variant Dim TableNo As Integer ‘table … Read more
For a start don’t specify all those properties over and over again. Unless you change them they don’t change. With Selection.Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchByte = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchFuzzy = False For loop … Read more
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment. If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side … Read more
