Default Newbie Question on on tables

If you run a macro containing the following code, it will insert that
sequence of numbers into the cells in the first column of the table:

Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long
Dim atable As Table
Set atable = Selection.Tables(1)
k = 1
For i = 1 To 123 Step 3
For j = 1 To 3
atable.Cell(i + j - 1, 1).Range.InsertBefore k & Chr(64 + j)
Next j
k = k + 1
Next i
k = 42
For i = 124 To 201 Step 6
For j = 1 To 6
atable.Cell(i + j - 1, 1).Range.InsertBefore k & Chr(64 + j)
Next j
k = k + 1
Next i



Mr Robbins ,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

However , I know nothing about running macros as I'm afraid I've
never used them before.

I have Word 2000 and have read the Help file which tells me to go to
Tools Macro Record New Macro but that's as far as I've got.

Could you tell me what to do after that, please ?

I would like to print out a page with the symbols mentioned running
down the left hand side of the page with each symbol , 1A,1B ...etc
separated from each other with a line across the page.

regards,

B.N.
