Can I clear the contents of a table using VBA

To clear contents of the tables, I think you have to use a for loop, accessing each cell. Something like this:

Code:

    Dim t As Table
    Set t = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
    Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
    For i = 1 To t.Rows.count
        For j = 1 To t.Columns.count
            t.Cell(i, j).Range.Text = ""
        Next j
    Next i

You may not need this though. You could just use a template, or a dotx file. The original would always have a cleared table. However, the user-filled doc would need to be saved somewhere.
