How many characters per line in a cell within a table?

[Jonas]

Is there a way to programmatically tell how many characters per line are in a
cell within a table? By the way I am using a non-proportional font.

Affect a range to the line and use the Characters.Count property of the
range to find out how many characters there are.

This should work anywhere (in a table or not).

Selection.Expand wdLine
With Dialogs(wdDialogToolsWordCount)
.Execute
MsgBox "This line contains " & .Characters & " characters."
End With

In other words, Dialogs(wdDialogToolsWordCount).Characters gives you a
string with a count of the characters in a selection.

does "Selection.Expand wdLine" expand the selection from the current position
of the cursor to the end of the line? If so what is the value of wdLine?

Thanks for all your help,
Jonas.
