I am stumbling over something that I feel should be very simple.

I need to know the left and right boundary position of a table. I've tried various combinations of Selection.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage), but that appears to actually give me the position of text within the table, and hence is dependent on cell padding and left/center/right justification. Essentially what I want is the left and right table border position.

I've been VBAing for a couple of hours now, and it seems like this should be very simple. (For instance, the table knows where to draw it's boundaries...)

Thanks in advance!

You need to get the position of the table's range not the selection.

ActiveDocument.Tables(n).Range.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage) will give you the position for a specific table.

Selection.Tables(1).Range.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage) will give you the position for the table that contains the selection.
