Hey Mark,

If you have multiple tables with the same layout and text, why not layout the first table in detail via automation and then get a Range object for it. The get a Copy of the Range. Select the part of the document where you want the duplicate table and use Paste. The copy will be the last Table in the Tables collection and you can use that reference along with the Cells collection to make changes to individual text values.


>I have a Word template that I am automating that has several tables. Creating and populating uniform tables is a breeze. Of course my problem is not that easy. I have several sections where each section has a NON-UNIFORM [e.g., some cells are split or merged] table and some text with variables below each table. The problem is each section can have a variable number of tables depending on the number of child records in a VFP table. The text that goes with each table also has to be repeated for each table.

Then replace the text variables independently because the values of the variables in the first table/text combo are not going to be the same values as the same variable names in subsequent table/text combos.
