Going to specific cells in a table

I would like to know how I can program into a macro the ability for the
cursor to goto a specifc cell in a table. For example cell F5.

Thank you

Sub ScratchMacro()
Selection.Tables(1).Cell(5, 6).Range.Select 'For the current table
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
'Or
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(5, 6).Range.Select 'For the first table in the
document
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
End Sub

Or, depending on your requirements, use a bookmark. If a cell is bookmarked,
and it is named "test", you can move the Selection to it, and select it by:

Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="test"

If you want to move the Selection to it, but NOT select it - ie. you want the
cursor at the start of it:

Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="test"
Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart

If you want to simply display the content of what it there, and again the
cell is bookmarked as "test"

MsgBox ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("test").Range.Text

BTW: I will assume by cell F5 you mean Row 6, Column 5. Word is not Excel.
