Active Table (VBA/Word 2000 SP-3)

Topic

Hi,

Is there a way to actively work on a table after using the Go To command? That is, is there an “active table” property that can be used? In a Word doc, I’m searching for a heading that is always followed by a table. After I find the heading, I go to the table. At that point, I’d like to work with particular columns, rows, and cells. I’d use the Tables collection tools, but with the macro I’m developing, the index number of the subject table would vary.

Thanks,
Bob

If you can get the insertion point into the table, you can use Selection.Tables(1) to reference it. If there are nested tables it can get messy.

The Selection.Tables(1) code helped.

First, you need to find the heading.
If the table follows, create a table, or range, object that refers to that table and operate on the table via that object.
