[lots of code snipped]

Steven,

insert obj.visible = true after the paste action. BTW, I do not quite
understand why you create a Word.Basic object (CreateObject("word.basic")).

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307216 gives you a code skeleton for
automating Word.

cheers,
Stephan

Thank you for your help, Dr. Kassanke.

I inserted "obj.visible = true" after paster action, actually I tried
this before I posted up here. Anyway I tried, and it makes Run-time
error of 438. Object type doesn't support this property or method.

And What is your recommendation about "Word.Basic object
(CreateObject("word.basic")). "? Would you tell me how you would change
to make it better.?

Thank you, Sir.

By the way, I inserted "obj.visible=true" like this

Sub PasteTableToWord()

Dim obj As Object
Dim temp As String

'Activate the worksheet containing the range to be copied
Worksheets("bpv").Activate

'Select the range the of cells to be copied; update to match
'your data
'Range("b2:l34").Select
'Worksheets("EFSV").UsedRange.Select


Call MyUsedRange
'Call WorksheetLoop

'Format the selection
Selection.ColumnWidth = 6.35

With Selection.Font
.Name = "Arial"
.Size = 9
.Strikethrough = False
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
.OutlineFont = False
.Shadow = False
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
End With




'Copy the cells
Selection.Copy



'Create a word object.
Set obj = CreateObject("word.basic")



'Create a new file.
obj.filenew

'Paste the Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet object into Word
obj.EditPasteSpecial Link:=1, Class:="Excel.Sheet.5", _
DataType:="object", IconFilename:="", _
Caption:="Microsoft Excel Worksheet"

'Make MS Word visible
obj.Visible = True



'Save the file
obj.FileSaveAs Name:="RML EF Interop.doc"


'Close Word.
'Set obj = Nothing

'Return to Microsoft Excel. If this line is not used, the
focus
'may be set to another Windows Application
' AppActivate "Word.basic"

'Deselect the selected range
'Application.CutCopyMode = False


End Sub

I think you want to change

Set obj = CreateObject("word.basic")

to

Set obj = CreateObject("word.application")
