Word97 tables don't appear to have a 'PreferredWidth' property. So that might be your problem.

>The result of this snippet on their machine is ... it builds the table with 6 rows and 4 columns with no data in the cells. That means the program fails somewhere after the 2nd line of code in this snippet.

>I don't think I will be able to code this for Word97 but thought someone might happen to know what is wrong and that might fix everything. I know I am dreaming but I can hope can't I ?
