VBA Search within page range in Word - excel

Question

I am trying to make the Excel VBA search in a Word Document from page 5 onwards and once it finds the specific keyword it should target just the 1st encountered table and get some cells from the Word Table back to Excel as the code below will display. I am trying to introduce your Option1 in it but at the moment I can't. Any idea why?
Option Explicit
Sub Testt()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Selection As Object
Dim objWord As Word.Application
Dim i As Integer
Dim strValue As String
Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
Dim wdFileName As Variant
Dim TableNo As Integer 'table number in Word
Dim myTableRange As Word.Range ' formerly variable 'a'
Dim oWordApp As Object, oWordDoc As Object
Dim pgNo As Long
Dim FlName As String
Dim SearchText As String
Dim IopenedWord As Boolean
Const wdMainTextStory As Integer = 1
Const wdActiveEndPageNumber As Integer = 3
Const wdStory As Integer = 6
Const wdFindContinue As Integer = 1
Set objWord = New Word.Application
Set wdDoc = objWord.Documents.Open("C:\Users\Nigel\Desktop\Testt.docx")
objWord.Visible = True
With wdDoc.StoryRanges(wdMainTextStory)
With .Find
.Forward = True
.ClearFormatting
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchCase = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Text = "Test"
.Execute
Do While objWord.Selection.Find.Execute = True
'~~> Get the page number
pgNo = objWord.Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
'~~> Check if the page number is >= 5
If pgNo >= 5 Then
Debug.Print "Search text found in page " & pgNo
End If
Loop
End With
If .Find.Found Then
MsgBox "Found"
Else
MsgBox "Not found"
Exit Sub
End If
Set myTableRange = .Duplicate.Next(unit:=wdTable)
Dim rowNb As Long
Dim ColNb As Long
Dim x As Long
Dim y As Long
x = 8
y = 1
With myTableRange.Tables(1)
For rowNb = 1 To 1 '
For ColNb = 2 To 2
Cells(x, y) = WorksheetFunction.Clean(.Cell(rowNb, ColNb).Range.Text)
y = y + 1
Next ColNb
y = 1
x = x + 1
Next rowNb
End With
x = x + 2
End With
End Sub

In the comments above, I mentioned 3 ways to achieve what you want. I am sure there are other ways as well to skin a cat.
Here is an example (Option 1) on how to search for a text from page 5 onwards. I have commented the code. Still if you do not understand then feel free to leave a comment and if I can reply, I will.
Option Explicit
Const wdMainTextStory As Integer = 1
Const wdActiveEndPageNumber As Integer = 3
Const wdStory As Integer = 6
Const wdFindContinue As Integer = 1
Sub Sample()
Dim oWordApp As Object, oWordDoc As Object
Dim pgNo As Long
Dim FlName As String
Dim SearchText As String
Dim IopenedWord As Boolean
'~~> Establish an Word application object
On Error Resume Next
Set oWordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
IopenedWord = True
End If
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0
oWordApp.Visible = True
'~~> Sample File
FlName = "C:\Users\routs\Desktop\Sample.Docm"
Set oWordDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Open(FlName)
'~~> Search Text. Change as applicable
SearchText = "Siddharth"
'~~> Move to the begining of the document
oWordDoc.Bookmarks("\StartOfDoc").Select
oWordApp.Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With oWordApp.Selection.Find
.Text = SearchText
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
'~~> Loop and find the search text
Do While oWordApp.Selection.Find.Execute = True
'~~> Get the page number
pgNo = oWordApp.Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
'~~> Check if the page number is >= 5
If pgNo >= 5 Then
Debug.Print "Search text found in page " & pgNo
End If
Loop
End With
oWordDoc.Close (False)
If IopenedWord = True Then oWordApp.Quit
End Sub
Output
And if I change
If pgNo >= 5 Then
Debug.Print "Search text found in page " & pgNo
End If
to
Debug.Print "Search text found in page " & pgNo
Then I get this
