>Thanks, Mark. That's the way I'd always handled tables, but this latest app. has a lot of template docs that the clients can change. Obviously they want to see a "real table" in place in their template. And (as you also mention) sometimes these tables have a lot of static data.

>>I bookmarked an empty table that would need rows added and data filling the cells. After reading the article, I removed the empty table from the Word document and just put a text placeholder in the doc. I then do a search for that placeholder, delete it, the insert the table according to the article.

Actually I have figured a way to do this but it is not as clean as creating the entire table [string] in VFP, sending it to Word, then have Word convert it to a table.

This will create table object:
poTable = ThisForm.poWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("tablebench").Range.Tables(1)
Where "tablebench" is a bookmark you add to that table.
Now you can talk to your table like this:
?poTable.cell(1, 1).range.text
