                                   End If

                                           WordDoc.Close







        Next CustRow

        WordApp.Quit

End With

End Sub

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Hi mbuk. It's very odd your difficulty as you have stated it. You haven't indicated how the Royal Mail 48 etc. string is generated? I would suggest that your difficulties arise from your inaccurate variable declarations. For example...
Code:
Dim DocLoc, TagName, TagValue, TemplName, FileName As String
only declares FileName as a string. The rest of the undeclared variables are by default Variant so XL just does whatever it thinks is best. Only strings can be transferred to Word documents, so I'm guessing XL has supposed wrong. Trial correcting all of your variable declarations. For example....
Code:
Dim DocLoc As String, TagName As String, TagValue As String, TemplName As String, FileName As String

finally found the issue because I had "For CustCol = 1 To 14" due to having data in cell M2 (the number 4) every time there was a number 4 on the word document it would replace it with what data was in m column as this was empty it deleted the number 3 so I changed "custcol= 1 to 13" hopefully this helps anyone with the same issues
