CAUSE
This error occurs when you use any of the following statements:
ActiveDocument.Content.Rows.Count
ActiveDocument.Content.Columns.Count

To obtain a total count of rows in all tables in a document, set up a
looping structure to iterate through the tables collection. In the
following example, if a table does not exist, the value returned will be
zero:
Sub GetTotalDocumentRowCount()
Dim tblTable As Table
Dim iCount As Integer
' Loop through tables in body of active document.
For Each tblTable In ActiveDocument.Tables
' Obtain count of rows for each table and combine.
iCount = iCount + tblTable.Rows.Count
Next
MsgBox iCount
End Sub
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
