However, maybe you should really be using a userform. See the article "How
to create a Userform" at:

It may be useful to consider that a cell in Excel is MUCH different than a
cell in a Word table.

Clicking into a cell in Excel fires an event. Yes, you could use an
application event in Word - Selection_Change - but it would fire every single
time you EVER moved the cursor. Obviously that is not useful for this case.
There is no event specifically for clicking into a Word table cell.

Thus, as mentioned, perhaps a userform may be useful, but more
importantly...why are you doing this? if the user is clicking in a cell in a
Word table, why would you want an inputbox to get text to put in that cell?
They are already there. What are you trying to achieve?
