Table help

[Fuzzhead]

When working with tables how do I get the information from a userform into a
table that I just created? I can’t just say Table(1) because it may not be
the first table in the document. It could be the third or seventh table.

Hi Fuzzhead,

You could either:

..assign an ID to;
the table, then use that to reference the table.

Dim myTable

then use

Set myTable = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add (etc.)

Then in the rest of your code refer to myTable, e.g.

myTable.Cell(rownum, colnum).Range.Text =

I did the following but the debuger does not like the when it gets to the
Selection.myTable. How do I add them to my Set myTable line?


Dim myTable
Set myTable = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=3,
NumColumns:= _
1, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, AutoFitBehavior:= _
wdAutoFitFixed)
Selection.myTable.Rows.SetLeftIndent LeftIndent:=8, RulerStyle:=wdAdjustNone
Selection.myTable.Columns(1).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=432,
RulerStyle:=wdAdjustNone
Selection.myTable.Borders.OutsideLineWidth = wdLineWidth150pt

You do not need to use Selection. Just refer to the table as myTable
