How do I select the first 2 rows of a table in word 2

Actually I figured I better learn my keyboard shortcuts again - this looks like it worked:

'Set the first two rows as repeatable heading rows
Selection.Tables(1).Rows(1).Select
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Rows.HeadingFormat = True

Probably defining a range would be cleaner so the first question is still valid

You don't need to select the rows ...


When recording a macro, you can still use the arrow keys to move around, and select content in, the document. You do end up with a lot of extra stuff recorded for the repeated changes in the Selection, but you can ignore it.

Enjoy,
Tony

RE: mouse restrictions when recording a macro. You can also often use Shift-F10, which is the keyboard equivalent to a right click. This still works when recording macros.

PHV, while perhaps odd, Tony's code is correct, and you not need to explicitly set Row(1).HeadingFormat=True. VBA will do it for you.

In fact, you do not need to explicitly set ANY proceeding row. Word VBA assumes that if Row(x).HeadingFormat = True, then ALL proceeding rows are part of the repeating heading, as they must be. means rows 1 through 5 will be - MUST be - included (along with row(6) of course) as part of the repeating heading.
