My apologies if I have duplicated this posting. I seem to be having
problems with getting it posted.
In the case of nested tables, is there a process by which one can select a
nested table for modification, separation and/or deletion?
Much thanks in advance - Rod
Assuming you know or can determine which cell of the outer table contains a
nested table, you can do something like this:
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1,1).Tables(1).Selec t
It selects the nested table in the top left cell of the outer table. If that
second-level table contains a third-level nested table in the top cell of the
second column, you can get that one by
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1,1).Tables(1).Cell( 1,2).Tables(1).Select
Also, remember that it often isn't necessary to select something in order to do
something with it. For example, if you want to delete the nested table, don't
select it; just do
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1,1).Tables(1).Delet e
If you need to determine how deeply nested a particular table is, you can look
at its .NestingLevel property. Look it up in the Help.
