I prepare a table in Excel within a Using () statement. At the end I UsedRange.Copy() to what I understand is the clipboard. Then I Selection.PasteExcelTable in a Word document.
I get an COM Exception "command failed".
When I activate the word document and press Ctrl+V the table gets copied.
I wonder if that has something to do with the fact that maybe I must reactivate the Word document in code.
The word document gets created also within a Using() statement. I execute the Excel procedure from within the Using(Word) statement.

I tried the Activate method of the Word.Application object and also when I wait for 5 seconds after the Activate().
