Hi Macropod,
Thanks for the reply however, unfortunately I'm sorry but I don't understand your code and as I'm not a great coder can't seem to make it work. I'm not sure I made myself clear with what I needed.
As the document is edited I open a userform and select the text to insert and the table in which to insert into. This table is somewhere in the document. This table may be several pages away from where the userform is opened ie. the cursor is not in a cell in the desired table, also several other tables exist within the doc. I have all the code to insert rows and column and text, also temporally rename the table. This table order number changes as other tables are inserted. I can rename the table if I know the table order number however as this changes as I edit the doc, is there were a way to permanently give the table a name instead of a number based on its order. Also if this is possible would these names remain after the doc has been saved and reopened?
