Hello y'all!

I'm smacking my head down with something I'm pretty sure that's simple, but I couldn't find any proper solution for it

I made a code that succesfully paste an excel table to word, this table has four strings with differents text formats an each cell, after pasting I'd like to find the first of four strings ("FOTO") and replace it with a picture stored in the sheet1 of my excel workbook.

The problems are:
1. The pasting starts fine until page 2 where only pastes the table with content skipping the format.
2. I can't find the way to find, using the find method, the "FOTO" string so after selecting it, it'll be overwritten with the Picture mentioned before. I don't know if this is happening because they all it's inside a table.

Here is a piece of the code, give a look please:

Code:
If Uf Mod 2 = 0 Then 'Knows itf last row is odd or even
        j = Uf \ 2
    Else
        j = Uf \ 2 + 1
    End If
    
    For i = 1 To j
        Ws.Range(Ws.Cells((i - 1) * 2 + 1, 1), Ws.Cells(i * 2, 2)).Copy 'takes a 2x2 table from excel to be pasted in word
        
'---------
'WORD
'---------

        .Selection.PasteExcelTable LinkedToExcel:=False, WordFormatting:=False, RTF:=False 'this supposed to paste
                                                                'keeping  origin's format, this works Okay for the first page only
        
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
       
        Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Picture 2").CopyPicture 'copy the picture that is going to replace the "FOTO" string
        
        WordDoc.Content.Find.ClearFormatting

        With WordDoc.Content.Find 'I've made three differents alternative of this but any didn't work 
            .Text = "FOTO"
            .Replacement.Text = ""
            .Forward = True
            .Wrap = wdFindContinue
            .Format = False
            .MatchCase = False
            .MatchWholeWord = False
            .MatchWildcards = False
            .MatchSoundsLike = False
            .MatchAllWordForms = False
        End With

        WordDoc.Content.Find.Execute

        Selection.PasteAndFormat (16)
    
    Next i

    'after this the word document is save and blah blah blah!!

I hope someone can help me

Thanks is advance

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Hello!

I still have both unsolved situations but I've bypassed the pasting issue making each pasted section on a different word document... A very undesired solution but worked.

Now, I've to replaced the word "foto" inside of each cell of a 2x2 table within the word document while it's being created, with an image stored on sheet1 of excel's document.

I've tried some methods found out there but it seems that they don't apply to captions inside a table.

Thanks in advance

Antonio
