Name and refer to Word Tables

[sharky12345]

Not sure if this is possible, but at the moment I am referring to Tables in a Word document from Excel as follows;

WordDoc.tables(1)

Is it possible that I can name a Table in the Word document, (which is a template), and then refer to it by name in my code within Excel?

Word tables do not have a name property. You could add a bookmark to the table and refer to that via code like:
WordDoc.Bookmarks("Tbl").Range.Tables(1)
That way, it doesn't matter where in the document the table you want to work with might be. Another options would be to insert the table into a content control (which you can apply a title to) and refer to it via that:
WordDoc.SelectContentControlsByTitle("Tbl").Item(1).Range.Tables(1)

Thanks Paul and some interesting options that I didn't know about!
