This example uses the Visual Basic for Applications "Information" property to
determine whether the insertion point is within a table.

     Sub IsInTable()
        'Macro to determine if the insertion point is in a Word table
        If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then
           MsgBox "Insertion point is in a Word table"
        Else
           MsgBox "Insertion point is not in a Word table"
        End If
     End Sub

For more information about using the Information property, in the Visual Basic
for Applications Editor, click the Office Assistant, type "Information" (without
the quotation marks), click Search, and then click to view "Information
Property."
