Counting rows in a table

[Joanne]

What is wrong with this string? I've tried it with Table
(1) and Tables(1) and it still errors out on "Count". I
just want to count the number of rows in the table.

Set rcount = ActiveDocument.Table(1).Rows.Count

Tables(1) is the right way to access the first table in the collection of
tables in the ActiveDocument. However, if you are assigning the value of a
count to the variable rcount, you don't need a Set statement to assign the
value, because the return from the .Count property is an Integer, not an
Object data type. That is probably the source of your error.
