I have a Word document with two embedded Excel files (added using Insert -> Object -> Create From File) which I wish to modify using Word VBA. I have got to the point where
Have another hackey way to get the chart to close: Simply use the find function to find something in the document that is not there.
EG
With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = "wiffleball"
.Execute Forward:=True
End With
This will take you out of the embedded file, close the instance and back to the main document, you can just code from there.
Hope this helps, this problem was driving me crazy.
