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 displays a message box 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.

NOTE: This macro also displays a message box if the insertion point is not in a Word table. Sub IsLastCell If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then If Selection.Move(Unit:=wdCell, Count:=1) = 0 Then MsgBox "Last cell of table." End If  Else MsgBox "Insertion Point not in a Word table." End If End Sub
