Adding Tables to Word
I am trying to get tables to add into a word document and do not know how to do it, I have pasted the information below and attached the word document so that you can see the actual tables.
I need to create two macros and/or non- printing command buttons, one to add new topic title tables
(This is the Topic Title Table) each time a new topic title is added it would need to appear on the next blank page. A page break would need to be written in the command
2. Click here to enter Topic Title
and one that would add the section title table (this table’s numbering convention would need to follow that of the topic title section above it (ie when topic title table:2 is added all section tables inserted beneath it would follow the 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc numbering and when topic title table 3 is added the sections tables beneath it would follow the 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc. numbering convention. (there is a potential for several section title tables to be under each topic title table).
2.1 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
(this is the Section Title Table)
When a new Topic title table is added it needs to start on the next available page number. A simple page break in the code should work
On my template I am going to have the topic title and one section on it.
2. Click here to enter Topic Title
2.1 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
Below is what an example of what I am trying to accomplish, this is the topic title table added and 5 section title tables added followed by another topic title table with three title tables added.
2. Click here to enter Topic Title
2.1 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
2.2 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
2.3 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
2.4 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
2.5 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
3 Click here to enter Topic Title
3.1 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
3.2 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
"[Click here to enter Section Text]"
3.3 "[Click here to enter Section Title]"
I was also hoping to get the topic titles, section number and associated page numbers to auto insert to a table of contents on the first page of the document, is that possible?
Topic Page
2. Click here to enter topic title.
Pg Number.
3. Click here to enter topic title
Pg Number.
4. Click here to enter topic title
Pg Number
The table on the front would have to add a row if additional Topic Title sections were added.

How would you get the table to add once you have written the code
Julia, you would need to add the code then run the code. As per Graham's comment the scope of this question is a little broad... Graham has given you 2 approaches for adding tables, you can call the sub by typing NewTable in the VBA IDE Immediate window.
