Never mind-- I opened up the VBA editor in Word , and looked up "Tables" in the "Help", "Word Object Model Reference". It told me what I wanted to know.
Basically I can use:
strLabelText = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1,1).Range.Text 'Copies the text
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(2,1).Range.Text= strLabelText 'Pastes the text into the cell below
This requires a lot more coding and cleaning up, but I could not figure out how to access the table. I have something to work with now.
Thanks again.
