Each table consists of a collection of cells. Each individual Cell object represents one cell in the table. You refer to each cell by its location in the table. This example refers to the cell located in the first row and the first column of the table; adds text to the cell; and applies formatting.

To add text and formatting to cells

  1. Refer to the cell by its location in the table, add text to the cell, and apply the formatting.

    The following code example can be used in a document-level customization. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in your project.

    With Me.Tables.Item(1).Cell(1, 1).Range
    .Text = "Name"
    .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphRight
End With

    Word.Cell cell = this.Tables[1].Cell(1, 1);

cell.Range.Text = "Name"; 
cell.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphRight;

    The following code example can be used in a VSTO Add-in. This example uses the active document. To use the example, run it from the ThisAddIn class in your project.

    With Me.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables.Item(1).Cell(1, 1).Range
    .Text = "Name"
    .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphRight
End With

    Word.Cell cell = this.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables[1].Cell(1, 1);

cell.Range.Text = "Name";
cell.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 
    Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphRight;
