Try
StuName = Left(ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(4, 2), Len(ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(4, 2))-2)
A throwaway macro shows there are 2 'table-related' characters in the Value
Option Explicit Sub test() Dim s As Variant s = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1) MsgBox "#" & s & "#" s = "#" & Left(s, Len(s) - 2) & "#" MsgBox s End Sub
