content of all the cells except the cells in row 1?

Thanks

One way ...

With ActiveDocument
.Range(.Tables(1).Rows(2).Range.Start,
..Tables(1).Rows.Last.Range.End).Rows.Delete
End With

..Tables(1).Rows.Last.Range.End).Rows.Delete

Juan,

Did you want to actually remove the other rows, or just to empty their
cells, but leave them in place?

Thanks Chip, I realize that, this way it erases the cell, I changed ...:=1,
Column:=2).row.Delete for ...:=1, Column:=2).Range.Delete and it works
erasing only the content

I would have thought that would also delete the rows or columns, so I guess
I don't quite understand how it's working.

My thought was to use:

..range.text = ""

Which would only clear each cell I think.

Anyway, it sounds like you have what you need.

Hi Chip,

Sorry to butt in, but I need to delete the contents of a table, I have a
table with 3 columns and 1 row, I need to delete the contents of only the 1st
column and then insert 4 blank paragraphs and the word "lawyers", centered,
all caps. I was searching for my answer and found this post, I'm going to
play with what you gave him so far and see if I can figure it out. thanks!
