MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The Selection.Move method moves the insertion point to the next cell in the table. The function form of the Selection Move method,

   Selection.Move(Unit:=wdCell, Count:=1)
				

returns 0 (zero) if there is no next cell in the table. This may be useful for avoiding the addition of a new row in a table.

This macro posts a message if the current cell is the last cell in the table. The MsgBox command can be replaced by other commands depending on the purpose of the macro.

   Sub IsLastCell()
      If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then
         If Selection.Move(Unit:=wdCell, Count:=1) = 0 Then
            MsgBox "Last cell of table."
         End If
      End If
   End Sub
