All those Selection statements make my eyes water. You could do all of this without selecting anything...

Be that as it may, the simple remedy for your commented-out lines is:
ActiveDocument.Tables(23).Cell(1, 2).Range.Text = vbNullString

Yes I can see how! I've got section breaks and bookmarks etc, it looks a mess but it works up to this point. This is my first real go at vba for Word - I'm more used to vba for Access. Since this is the only bit of vba required for this form, I'm not too fussy about how I acheive the copy and pasting of the table and clearing of the selected cells, so long as it works.

Also, how do I pick out the 4 or 5 individual cells that I need to clear? (ie in excel it would be B2, B3, A5 and so on.)

Thanks. Jamie.
