This can be achieved from two different directions.
1. Step through all the tables to see if a string exists in the first row
2. Find a string and see if that found instance is in the first row of a table

The best method depends on how many instances are likely to be found in/out of scope and what you mean by Have a go at the code yourself and post what you have. Perhaps looking back at some of your previous code will help https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...deletions.html
