Solved: creating table under Word.application object

[Mr Doubtfire]

I have the following tabular information to be put in a Word document.

AAA 111
BBB 22222222222222
CCCCCC 33333
DDDD 444444444444444444444
EE 123

Could any one tell me how to do it in VB coding with bold font (no grid lines needed)
Thanks.

[Jacob Hilderbrand]

Try this.

[VBA] Option Explicit

Sub AddTable()

Dim Tbl As Table

Set Tbl = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, _
NumRows:=4, NumColumns:=2)
Tbl.Range.Font.Bold = True
Tbl.Cell(1, 1).Range.Text = "AAA"
Tbl.Cell(1, 2).Range.Text = "111"

End Sub
[/VBA]

Could you please tell me how the accomplish the above?

You could have the first and last text outside of the table. ??

[Mr Doubtfire]

One of my question is how to set the colum width?
Thanks.

[Jacob Hilderbrand]

You can use this:
[vba]
Tbl.Columns(1).Width = 20
[/vba]

[Mr Doubtfire]

Thanks again!

For the above two lines I want to have font (12) and bold face .

[Jacob Hilderbrand]

Try this.

[vba]
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Selection.TypeText Text:="Test"
[/vba]

[Mr Doubtfire]

Could ask another one? Greedy ..
For this ..
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Selection.TypeText Text:="Test"
How to change alignment (like Left/Center/Right)?

Hi,

Try:[vba]
Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphLeft[/vba]

This sort of stuff can easily be recorded with the macro recorder and this will save you time looking for answers.

Go to Tools/Macro/Record macro. Perform the actions you need and stop the recorder. After that a new module (NewMacros) is created with your recorded code.

This recorded code is not the neatest in the book but it can sure help you find your way arround Word.

HTH,

[Mr Doubtfire]

A big THANKS to all!
