Anybody work with tables in Word? I'd like to "get" and "set" the values in cells, using row and column numbers, as I do in Excel.

This much I got...

tell application "Microsoft Word"
get name of document 1
--> "My Table Tests"
get uniform of table 1 of document 1
--> true
get row index of row 3 of table 1 of document 1
--> 3
get column index of cell 4 of row 3 of table 1 of document 1
--> 4
get value of cell 4 of row 3 of table 1 of document 1
--> missing value
get contents of cell 4 of row 3 of table 1 of document 1
--> missing value
get every text of cell 4 of row 3 of table 1 of document 1
--> current application
end tell

Hi Gil,

This may get you going again. The code below returns the correct cell contents, but always with a return appended to the end. You may want to strip that off. Numbers are also returned as strings with a trailing return.

tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell table 1 of document 1
set blah to content of text object of cell 1 of row 2
end tell
end tell

HTH,
Stan
