Hey all, I'm *really* fresh to VBA as a whole and have a *very* general concept of how to read the scripting

I've frankensteined together some code that mostly does what I need, but I'm having a formatting issue with one section of my code.
I'm sure it's a single line that I'm just not plugging in right, but I've tried a handful of different methods that I haven't been able to implement..

Here's the section that does everything I need except the center alignment:

VBA Code:
'Copy contents

    Sheets("Tables").Select
    Range("J6:R145").Select
    Range("J6").Activate
    Selection.Copy

'Open new mail item

    Dim outlookApp As Object
    Set outlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set outMail = outlookApp.CreateItem(0)
   
'Get Word editor

    outMail.Display
    Dim wordDoc As Object
    Set wordDoc = outMail.GetInspector.WordEditor
   
'Paste as image
   
    wordDoc.Range.PasteAndFormat Type:=wdChartPicture
    wordDoc.Range.Select
    Selection.Rows.Alignment = wdAlignRowCenter

Current Result:
1676666266624.png



I'm betting it's a matter of bad syntax but here's what I've plugged in so far:
Selection.PageSetup.CenterHorizontally = True
Selection.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter
and the above-listed Rows.Alignment


Any help would be appreciated!


PS: Bonus points if you can teach how to keep it from deleting the email signature when it pastes
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
maybe
wordDoc.Application.Selection.Paragraphs.Alignment = 1
however, it might be better to be more specific with the object variable:
Dim wordDoc As Word.Document
Set wordDoc = outMail.GetInspector.WordEditor

Thank you!
I also had some luck in a similar thread and wound up with this:

VBA Code:
'Paste as image
    wordDoc.Range.InsertParagraphBefore 'Create new empty paragraph before signature
    wordDoc.Paragraphs.first.Range.PasteAndFormat Type:=wdChartPicture
    
    With wordDoc.Tables(1).Rows
        .WrapAroundText = 0 'If this is true does not work
        .Alignment = 1
    End With
