Here's my code to copy a table into Word

Sub CopyTable()

Dim wdappWord As Word.Application
Dim docWord As Word.Document
Dim strFilename As String

Set wdappWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
'Set docWord = wdappWord.Documents.Add

strFilename = "C:\Excel\Excel Test.docx"

wdappWord.Visible = True
wdappWord.Documents.Open strFilename

ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("B2:I5").Select
Selection.Copy

wdappWord.Selection.PasteExcelTable True, False, False

End Sub

If I run this code about 4x in a row I get the following error message:

Runtime error '4605'
This method or property is not available because the clipboard is empty or not valid

What on earth does this error mean?
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
I have no idea what the error message means. Perhaps the clipboard is confused. Try adding this line as the last line of your code right before End Sub. This line will clear the clipboard.

Code:
Application.CutCopyMode = False

I hope this helps
