Creating a hyperlink in Word from Excel

[Ariel]

I am creating a word document using Excel and I need to add a hyperlink at a
given position in the text. For some reason the following code does not work.
WordApp has already been dim'ed.


With WordApp.ActiveDocument
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection.Range, Address:= _
"http://www.asdfasdfasfd.com", SubAddress:="", _
ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay:="Activity"
End With

About the only thing I do with MSWord is record macros and try to tweak them.

But Selection.Range doesn't look like it belongs to the MSWord application.

I'd try:

With WordApp.ActiveDocument
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Range, Address:= _
"http://www.asdfasdfasfd.com", SubAddress:="", _
ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay:="Activity"
End With

Without specifically defining the location where this should be inserted,
everything else in the document is deleted.

Maybe it's time to ask in an MSWord newsgroup.

Without specifically defining the location where this should be inserted,
everything else in the document is deleted.
