Yes, I'd picked that one up since that post, thanks.
Amazing what throwing caution to the winds and a
little experimentation produces (together with education
from the ng)......I now can almost believe that I can deal with a Word Table
(column & row) like an Excel sheet (at the Cell level) .....well, at an
elementary level, perhaps.
Almost beginning to feel at home.
One thing's for sure, this ng response is 100%, as in Excel's various ng's.
Regards and thanks.
