I have a table with multiple rows and multiple columns. I use VB code to
loop through my tables, determine if they are the right type of table, then
select a range of cells and merge those selected cells.

I look for a predictable value in cell (9,5) to identify the tables I want
to work with. Some tables don't have 9 rows or 5 columns, so if I try to
reference a cell that does not exist, I get an error.

What code can I use to determine if a cell exists as I loop through the
tables?

Dim pTable as Word.Table
Dim pCell as Word.Cell
For each pTable in ActiveDocument.Tables
If pCell(9,5) exists then 'I need a correct statement here to test for
existance
Set pCell = pTable.Cell(1, 1)
if pCell = "Predictable value" then
.......execute code
End if
End if
