Table Macro

I'm fairly new to VBA. I'm working on a template that should insert a
pre-designed table from a toolbar. My question is wether I have to design the
table through the macro since it's quite an involved table or wether there is
a way to just select the appropriate table (designed before running the
macro) to be able to be pasted wherever in the document?

Hope this makes sense
Thanks

Create the table as an autotext entry and have your macro insert that.

Absolutely!

1. Make your table
2. Select it
3. Alt-F3 (or Insert > Autotext > New) and give it a name, say myt - for my
table


Done.

You can delete the current table, if you want. It is only there in order to
create it for the AutoText.

Now whenever you want that table, type: myt and press F3

Voila! Your table.

Or, via code:

AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("myt").Insert _
Where:=Selection.Range

with the assumption the AutoText entry is to go at the Selection....which of
course it does not. For example:

AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("myt").Insert _
where:=ActiveDocument.Sections(3) _
.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range

would insert the AutoText entry (your table) into the range of the Even Page
headers of Section 3
