Your error is caused by these   Dim oTable As Table  oRow As Row    These types  Table and Row are not variable types native to Excel   You can resolve this in one of two ways    Include a reference to the Microsoft Word object model   Do this from Tools   References  then add reference to MS Word   While not strictly necessary  you may like to fully qualify the objects like Dim oTable as Word Table  oRow as Word Row   This is called early-binding    Alternatively  to use late-binding method  you must declare the objects as generic Object type  Dim oTable as Object  oRow as Object   With this method  you do not need to add the reference to Word  but you also lose the intellisense assistance in the VBE    I have not tested your code but I suspect ActiveDocument won t work in Excel with method  2  unless you properly scope it to an instance of a Word Application object   I don t see that anywhere in the code you have provided   An example  would be like   Sub DeleteEmptyRows   Dim wdApp as Object Dim oTable As Object  As Object    TextInRow As Boolean  i As Long  Set wdApp   GetObject   Word Application    Application ScreenUpdating   False  For Each oTable In wdApp ActiveDocument Tables

Sub DeleteEmptyRows          Worksheets  YourSheetName   Activate     On Error Resume Next     Columns  A   SpecialCells xlCellTypeBlanks  EntireRow Delete  End Sub   The following code will delete all rows on a sheet YourSheetName  where the content of Column A is blank   EDIT  User Defined Type Not Defined is caused by  oTable As Table  and  oRow As Row   Replace Table and Row with Object to resolve the error and make it compile
