Hi John,
It makes me feel ill everytime I see the code in one of these articles...
Certainly there's a better way!
1) You can simply create a delimited text string, save that to file and use it as a data source.
2) Since some versions of Word in certain configurations have issues with *.txt files, you mihgt want to dump the string into Word
and save it in Word document format
3) If you really WANT a Word table as the data source, then place the string into a Word RANGE, then use the ConvertToTable
method on the range
The last thing you ever want to do when automating Word is to create and fill in a table cell-by-cell.
