How to reference more than one table in a Word doc

Personally, I'd be inclined to bookmark the table or bind it to a suitably-titled rich text content control, so it no longer matters where the table occurs in the document. Then you could use code like:

Code:

Dim Rng As Range, i As Long
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyTable").Range.Tables(1)
  Set Rng = .Cell(Row:=3, Column:=3).Range
  i = Len(Rng.Text) - 1
  If i > 40 Then
    MsgBox "40 Char Description: Exceeded Character Limit of 40 " & "(" & i & ")"
  End If
End With

The code for a table bound to a content control is similar.
