Using VBA to work with the table object

[Scorpion_One]

I have a document that contains several lengthy tables in which the user will
enter data. The keybinding for the pause key has been changed to call a macro
to process this data. I need a method to programmatically determine which
table contains the insertion point so that the appropriate sub can be called.
One would think something similar to .rowindex or .columnindex would exist
but I have not be able to find such a property or method.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Scorpion_One,

the table with the insertion point is
selection.tables(1).

You may find
Selection.Information(wdWithInTable)
helpful, too.
