Update Word document in background

[Fabien]

Hello,

I have big performance problems with a VBA for Word program.
In this program, I copy, add (or delete) and edit rows from one table to an
other, many times.
The problem is that Word update the screen at every modification and that's
takes time !
Does someone know if it is possible to "bufferise" the modifications of the
document, then, when all is done, update the screen with the modified
document ?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Fabien,

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

still faster
Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
....
Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
which may confuse users

still faster, probably

using ranges insted of selection,
which beginners usually aren't aware of.

Or using all together.
