reading the content of table cell in word 2007

[gopher87]

Hi all

If the cursor (focus) is on the 5th column of a word table, how can I
read into a variable the content of the cell in the 1st column of the
same row?

Can I do that?

Thanks!

Dim myrange As Range
Set myrange = Selection.Rows(1).Range
Set myrange = myrange.Cells(1).Range
myrange.End = myrange.End - 1
MsgBox myrange.Text
