How do I find a particular value in a table?

I'm looking for the function in Word that performs the same action as the
"Index" function in Excel. I have a table, and I need to find a value in a
certain range. For instance I have just one row, A1:A10, and I want to print
out whatever is in the 8th column, or A8.

Thanks.
 
There is no such function in Word. You could however use VBA, to get the
contents of a cell

Dim myrange as Range
Set myrange = ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 8).Range
myrange.End = myrange.End-1
MsgBox myrange 'displays to contents of cell A8 in the first table in the
document.

Hope this helps.
