table with merged cells

[Robie]

Is it possible to get the cell position/value for a horizontally merged table? It is a fixed table that holds couple of company logos that change to six different versions depending on user selection.
The reason that row 1 has only two cells is that cell 2 or row 1 contains document titles (and these need to be wide).

I have a table of
Row 1: 2 cells
Row 2: 3 cells.

I actually, only need to access (1,1) and (2,3) but this seems to be impossible under VBA!

Thanks.

I have no problem referring to

ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1)

and to

ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(2, 3)

in a table similar to yours. What problem do you run into?

If you want to be able to quickly find a cell's address (even if mergeing & splitting is is use), you can do so with the following macro:

Code: Select all

Sub CellAddress()
'This macro displays the address of a table cell on Word's status bar
If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) = True Then
  If Selection.Cells(1).ColumnIndex > 26 Then
    StatusBar = "Cell Address: " & Chr(64 + Int(Selection.Cells(1).ColumnIndex / 26)) & _
    Chr(64 + (Selection.Cells(1).ColumnIndex Mod 26)) & Selection.Cells(1).RowIndex
  Else
    StatusBar = "Cell Address: " & Chr(64 + Selection.Cells(1).ColumnIndex) & _
    Selection.Cells(1).RowIndex
  End If
End If
End Sub

The address is reported on Word's status bar.

Thanks. Not sure what it was but I recreated the whole page and it seems to be fine now.
