moving around a table

[norwood]

Is there a way to move to a specific cell in a table ?



For example, I need to move to the centre cell in a table. Currently, I use the Selection.MoveDown, MoveRight ect... commands. But, I need to keep track of my move counts.

Is there a way move to a cell designation (A1, B1 etc...) for example ?

Thanks !

You can use

selection.Tables(1).cells(x,y) to select a cell.

You need to be careful if the table contains merged or split cells because the maximum X and Y are based on the maximum number of rows and columns.

This aspect of tables in word macros is a real PITA.

Great, Thanks !

It also depends on how often you need to do this. If it is something you regularly need to do with a specific table cell, then you could simply declare that cell as an object and then go to it with one instruction.

I could also add that it is very possible that you do not need to go to it at all. VBA makes it easy to action any given cell without ever putting the Selection there.
