Tables Collection Object (Word)

A collection of Table objects that represent the tables in a selection, range, or document.

Remarks

Use the Tables property to return the Tables collection. The following example applies a border around each of the tables in the active document.

For Each aTable In ActiveDocument.Tables 
 aTable.Borders.OutsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle 
 aTable.Borders.OutsideLineWidth = wdLineWidth025pt 
 aTable.Borders.InsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleNone 
Next aTable

Use the Add method to add a table at the specified range. The following example adds a 3x4 table at the beginning of the active document.

Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0) 
ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=myRange, NumRows:=3, NumColumns:=4

Use Tables(Index), where Index is the index number, to return a single Table object. The index number represents the position of the table in the selection, range, or document. The following example converts the first table in the active document to text.

ActiveDocument.Tables(1).ConvertToText Separator:=wdSeparateByTabs

The Count property for this collection in a document returns the number of items in the main story only. To count items in other stories use the collection with the Range object.
