How is it possible to search through all rows of a named table using vb?

All the best

Hi,
are you talking about a word-table and about VBA or VB?
This is a Word.VBA group.
A word-table doesn't have a name property, as far as I see.
If I google for "named table", I get posts from sqlserver, access,
Excel and so on, but hardly from word.vba.

I thought you could name a table in word? Maybe i was wrong! In which case
how can you search through a word table using vba?

Hi Hcoms

You can't name a table in Word you have to either use the table that's currently select or
the tables index number in the document. You can iterate the table using the Rows or
Columns collection but this only works if there are no merged rows/columns. You could use
the tables Cells property and the Cells collection or maybe you could just use the Find
object to search for what you want? You don't say what is you specifically want to do.

HTH + Cheers - Peter

You are correct , i referenced the table by its number and then used the
cell propertie to get the value of each row

Hi Hcoms,
even with horizontally or vertically merged cells,
this should do:
Sub test445()
Dim t As Table
Dim c As Cell
Set t = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
For Each c In t.Range.Cells
c.Select
Next
End Sub
