OFF2000: How to Run Sample Code from Knowledge Base Articles
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 displays a message box 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.
NOTE: This macro also displays a message box if the insertion point is not in a Word table.
Sub IsLastCell()
If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then
If Selection.Move(Unit:=wdCell, Count:=1) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Last cell of table."
End If
Else
MsgBox "Insertion Point not in a Word table."
End If
End Sub
