How to check if a Paragraph is in a Table or not in MS-Word macro?

Question

The paragraph object in the Word has a property called Range. Within this Range object has a property called Cells.

For paragraph that are not in a table, this prop

Answer 1

You can't call the Cells method unless the paragraph is in a table. You need to use a different method to determine whether the range is in a table.

You can use either...

paragraph.Range.Tables.Count > 0

...or...

paragraph.Range.Information(wdWithinTable)

Note that the second one looks more obvious, but is actually slower (only a problem if you're doing this inside a loop).
