Thanks Cindy - I'll do as you advise. The .INFORMATION tip is a good start.

Best,
Rich

Hi Rich,

The better place to ask programming questions is one of the word.vba
newsgroups. FWIW, though, if the table's rows and columns haven't been
assigned an exact height/width setting, but are allowed to autofit, it's
next
to impossible to get an accurate measurement.

The question has come up regularly in the word.vba groups, so a google
search
would be in order, as a first step. You'll find that the approaches mainly
base on using the .INFORMATION property of the range or selection objects.

I'm attempting some code that will take the height and width values from
an
active Word table cell, and then use them to adjust the page margins of
an
active Excel chart sheet, with the end result being both the Word cell
and
Excel
chart sheet share identical dimensions. Unfortunately, the code seems a
little beyond me. Is it possible?
