I used that to make sure I was in the table. Are you saying there is another way to populate the cells in a table other than:

with oWord.Selection.Tables(1)
   .Cell(2,2).Range.InsertAfter("Hello World")
   .Cell(2,3).Range.InsertAfter("Goodbye World")
endwith

The problem lies in having to use .Tables(1) or .Tables(2), etc.

>>As I RTM, I am looking for a table property that will tell me what table I am in. I have bookmarked a table, found that table, and the cursor is now in a cell in the table.
>>
>>I now need to populate the cells in the table, but the help shows the syntax is something like blahblahblah.Tables(1).blahblahblah. Is there some property that will tell me I am in table 1? I do not want to code Tables(1), I want to code Tables(lnTableNumber). I can find this nowhere in the vbawrd9.chm help file. TIA.
