Hi,

Rows are horizontal, columns are vertical.
For a 6 x 6 table, or to be more precise,
for the first 6 rows and the first 6 columns
in a uniform table,
whereby uniform means, all rows got the same number of cells,
all columns got the same number of cells.

Sub Test444()
Dim oTbl As Table ' 1st table in doc
Dim r As Long ' row
Dim c As Long ' column
Randomize
Set oTbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
With oTbl
For r = 1 To 6
For c = 1 To 5
oTbl.Cell(r, c).Range.Text = CLng(55 * Rnd + 1)
Next
c = 6
oTbl.Cell(r, c).Range.Text = CLng(42 * Rnd + 1)
Next
End With
End Sub

For the purists:

[snip]
For r = 1 To 6
For c = 1 To 5
oTbl.Cell(r, c).Range.Text = CLng(55 * Rnd + 1)
Next
' c = 6 ' is redundant as c = 6 at that point of the code anyway
oTbl.Cell(r, c).Range.Text = CLng(42 * Rnd + 1)
Next
[snip]
