table formatting and cell selection

[bert]

i have programmed a working script that makes new tables and formats it the
way we need it and partially populates it with data

now i have used pieces of code like this
Selection.MoveRight unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Selection.MoveRight unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=(UBound(HulpGieken2) + 1) *
(UBound(Hoeken2) + 1), Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Cells.Merge

now someone told me this way (selection.moveright and such) of coding is
sensitive to error
he suggested using something like table.Range.Select but how do i select for
example from cell(2,2) to cell(6,8)

thanks

Dim myrange as Range
With ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
Set myrange = .Cell(2, 2).Range
myrange.End = .Cell(6, 8).Range.End
End With

Then, if you really need to select those cells

myrange.Select

Hope this helps.
