Posting table to word from excel 2007 & retain formatting - pasteobject?

Can anyone help with posting a range from Excel to word and retain formatting?

I've got a table which I can paste OK to Word using VBA, but the format gets lost.

I've tried pastespecial xlpasteformats, but that doesn't work.

incidentally, it's office 2007 (my employer changed it midway programming without telling me...)
