>Terry,
>Thank you very much. A few questions, however: First, when you say define the define, do you mean in vfp?
Yes, you would define the Word Table inside VFP. You can kickstart the process by recording a macro inside Word. Set the macro recorder on and then go through the motions of formatting a table inside. Start with a simple one. Then paste the code to a VFP PRG. Modify to the pasted code to work within VFP. For example, VBA will show a "True", VFP reads a ".T.".

> Second, what do you mean when youi write "my PELS to inches was 71.94" Have no idea what that means.
Word formats the table in inches, so for a certain table deminsion, VBA (as recorded by the macro), may show:

.Selection.Cells.SetWidth(.6,0)

VFP output is in PELS (im not sure why the conversion is necessary), but it is, so, to make the above statement express the deminsion as predicted from a VFP/VBA rendering, we would need to:

.Selection.Cells.SetWidth(.6*PELsToInches,0)

to define this particular section of the table from inside VFP.

Here's some sample code to define a specific cell:

oTable.Cell(1,1).Select
.Selection.SelectColumn
.Selection.Cells.SetWidth(.6*PELsToInches,0)
.Selection.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = -.07*PELsToInches
.Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 2

Have you used the Word macro recorder to save your keystrokes yet?
