Okay, so what I am trying to do is take a template I have made in word and fill in the bookmarks using my excel workbook. The workbook contains several sheets, and the macro I have goes to each sheet and then opens a new template and fills it in based on what is in that sheet. HOWEVER, right now that isn't happening. It just seems to be taking random things and filling them into my bookmarks.

Code: 
Sub SendToWord()
Dim objWord As Object
Dim objDoc As Object
Dim ws As Worksheet


    Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    
    objWord.Visible = True

    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        
        
        If ws.Name <> "equivalents" And ws.Name <> "Core Category" And ws.Name <> "Sheet4" Then ' dont open equivalents and Core Category

            ' create new document based on template
            Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add("C:\Users\thomassa\Desktop\excel project\thistemplate.dotm")      ' change as required

            With objDoc

                .Bookmarks("EKU_Major").Range.Text = ws.Name ' puts wksht name as the major
             For k = 9 To 17
                Select Case ws.Cells(1, k).Value
                Case "Written Communication"
                        For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, k).End(xlUp).Row
                            If Cells(i, k) <> "" Then
                             str1 = Cells(i, k)
                             .Bookmarks("Writing_Class1").Range.Text = Cells(i, k) & "(" & Cells(i, "G") & ")"
                         Exit For
                            End If
                 Next i
                         For i = i + 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, k).End(xlUp).Row

You need to fully qualify ALL the Cells statements.

Because you're iterating through all the worksheets, the active worksheet is where the data is coming from; not the one in the loop.

Code: 
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, k).End(xlUp).Row
Needs to be
Code: 
For i = 2 To WS.Cells(Rows.Count, k).End(xlUp).Row
all the way through the code.

That makes SO much sense. Let me give that whirl and see how things go.

Thank you so much for your reply.

That worked! Thank you.
Now I have something else I'm having trouble with. I want the code to look for a column header, and if it is not there take information from another worksheet (not active) and put it in the bookmark. This what I have:
Code: 
Case Is <> "Computer Literacy"
                        For i = 2 To ws.Cells(Rows.Count, k).End(xlUp).Row
                            If ws.Cells(i, k) <> "" Then
                            str1 = Cells(i, k)
                                .Bookmarks("Computer_Class1").Range.Text = ws.Cells("'Core Category'!I3") & "(" & ("CIS 212/INF 104") & ws.Cells("'Core Category'!I10") & ("CIS 212/INF 104/TEC 161") & ")"
                        Exit For

I don't know if I'm even anywhere close with that.

I think this needs to be Case Else.
(If nothing else matches the other Cases, then do this.)

Now, tell me how you're going to derive a category from the column list? Is it going to be the next non-empty vale in the column?

Gotcha.
Sorry, I don't understand the second part?

So, there is no category in the Select Case ws.Cells(1, k).Value that matches. You want to lookup this in another worksheet?

How are you going to correlate ws.Cells(1, k).Value with the look up?

I really have no idea...
That's my problem.

Code: 
Case Is <> "Computer Literacy"
                     .Bookmarks("Computer_Class1").Range.Text = ws.Cells("'Core Category'!I3") & "(" & ("CIS 212/INF 104") & ws.Cells("'Core Category'!I10") & ("CIS 212/INF 104/TEC 161") & ")"

I'm thinking that would be closer to what I need...
