Short ... not especially unless you split it down into ranges and then recombine but the net effect either via a with or ranges is as follows~:<br />
<br />
activedocument.range(activ<wbr />edocument.<wbr />tables(1).<wbr />columns(1)<wbr />.cells(2).<wbr />Range.Star<wbr />t, activedocument.tables(1).c<wbr />olumns(1).<wbr />cells(4).R<wbr />ange.end).<wbr />Select<br />

Chris solved the problem and gets full credit. Graham's comment is important and deserves extra points for it. Thanks to both.&lt;br /&gt;     It is a sunny day today in Priddis, Alberta, both outside (with the weather) and inside (thanks to the solution provided above). &lt;br /&gt;     <br />

It's sunny where I am the UK today as well. Chris is about 100 miles north, but I guess that it's about the same.

With VBA in Word 2010, if I have <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Dim col as Column<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;set col = Activedocument.tables(1).c<wbr />olumns(3)<br />
<br />
is there not a short, one-line command to select cells x to y in that column? <br />
I'd even take a two or three line command.<br />
Thanks!<br />

Select continuous cells in a Word table column

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
