How to Insert a Table in Word After Another One Using VBA

Inserting tables in Microsoft Word can be a simple task for many users, but when it comes to using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), things can get a little complex. If you're trying to insert a new table directly underneath an existing table, you may encounter some challenges, especially when you're looking to control its specific placement. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps needed to successfully insert a table below another one using VBA code.

Understanding the Problem

You want to create a VBA function that, upon clicking a button, inserts a new table with specific dimensions and styling directly under a pre-existing table. The objective is to ensure that the new table begins five rows beneath the selection point, granting you precision and keeping your document organized.

Here's what you've tried thus far:

Moving the cursor down five lines

Adding a new table at the document's beginning instead of the desired location

While your approach lays a solid foundation, there is a more effective method to achieve the desired result.

The Solution

To insert a table after another one correctly, you can use the following steps in your VBA code:

Step 1: Setting Up the New Table

Instead of moving the selection down, you should directly specify the range for the new table based on the previous table’s position. Here’s a refined version of the code you could use:

Step 3: Avoiding Selection When Possible

While using Selection might seem convenient, it's often better practice to avoid it in your VBA code when you can. This approach enhances the reliability and clarity of your code, making it easier to follow and debug.

Putting It All Together

Here’s the complete code structure that you could implement in your VBA project:
