SUMMARY
This article discusses methods that you can use to determine if the insertion point is within the last cell of a Word table.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The Selection.Move method moves the insertion point to the next cell in the table. The function form of the Selection Move method, Selection.Move(Unit:=wdCell, Count:=1) returns 0 (zero) if there is no next cell in the table. This may be useful for avoiding the addition of a new row in a table.

This macro posts a message if the current cell is the last cell in the table. The MsgBox command can be replaced by other commands depending on the purpose of the macro. Sub IsLastCell If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then If Selection.Move(Unit:=wdCell, Count:=1) = 0 Then MsgBox "Last cell of table." End If     End If   End Sub For more information about Move Method, from the Visual Basic Editor, click the Office Assistant, type Move Method, click Search, and then click to view "Move Method (Word 97)."
