Default How to Select All or Part of a Table in Word

I have multiple pdf files I'm converting to Word. With the help of this forum, I'm building a macro to expedite the converting of many areas which do not convert correctly.

One that I can't figure out, How to Select All or Part of a Table in Word?

When I want to select an individual cell within the table, I don't see the black arrow that points up and to the right to select the cell.

If I create a blank table, no problem, the black arrow shows. Just not on the converted pdf tables.



What format do I need to apply to the table to achieve this black pointer arrow?

It's generally a good idea to specify ranges rather than selecting anything. You'll note that the macro I posted in https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...row-table.html never selects the tables, for example. Instead it simply loops through all the tables via:
Code:
For Each Tbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
then assigns the range spanned by a given table via:
Code:
  With Tbl
    ...
    Set Rng = .Range
In any event, when running a macro, I wouldn't expect to see any arrow pointers - even with screen updating on.

Perhaps you could explain more about what you're trying to do.

Thanks Paul. Actually, I just ran the macro again and it's working as it should and making the table behave how I thought it should. I guess my eyes were deceiving me earlier. All fixed.
