Apply a macro to a specified Cell

[abelp1975]

Dear PEOPLE:

I need to apply a macro to a specified Cell in my table.
My table is 2x2 and I want that macro applied to that cell ONLY.
My cell is located at Cell(2,1) [row, column].

Can any one help me?

Thank you.
Abel.

Dear Abel,

An example:

Sub Test()
Dim oTable As Table
Set oTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) 'first table in document

With oTable.Cell(2, 1).Range
.Text = "Bobs your uncle"
.Font.Color = wdColorBlue
.Borders.OutsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleDouble
End With
End Sub

Thank you Greg.
The macro works perfect but I have severall actions to insert in
bettewn the "With oTable" and the "End With": various find and replaces
all diferent. Could you explain me how to do that?

Thanks
Abel

Abel,

If you are doing a find/replace then set the range to the table cell.


Sub Test()
Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(2, 1).Range
With myRng.Find
.Text = "uncle"
.Replacement.Text = "favorit uncle"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Su

Dear Greg
Thank you once again.
I'm doing several find/replacements you thing this could be done
correctly like this:

Sub Test()
Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(2, 1).Range
With myRng.Find
.Text = "uncle"
.Replacement.Text = "favorit uncle"
.Text = "nefew"
.Replacement.Text = "favorit nefew"
.Text = "sista"
.Replacement.Text = "favorit sista"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub

I mean several replacements inside the same with/range action?

Abel,

Did you try it? What do you think?

I don't think so, because before the .Execute statement you have only
changed your mind twice regarding what text you want to find and what
you want that text replaced with.

This would work:

Sub Test1()
Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(2, 1).Range
With myRng.Find
.Text = "uncle"
.Replacement.Text = "favorit uncle"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
.Text = "nefew"
.Replacement.Text = "favorit nefew"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
.Text = "sista"
.Replacement.Text = "favorit sista"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub
