    Write Word Table in Visual Basic

    Hi
    I am writing to a Word document from Visual Basic
    It tried this code:

    Set wrd = Word.Documents.Open("C:\test.doc")
    Selection.InsertAfter Text:="Table to come"
    Selection.Font.Bold = True

    wrd.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=3, NumColumns:=2, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, AutoFitBehavior:=wdAutoFitFixed
    wrd.Tables(1).Rows(1).Select
    wrd.Tables(1).Cell(1, 2).Select

    wrd.Save

    The codes works but table is overwriting the text
    How can i say
    "Table to come" and then table?
    Thanks

    VB Code:
    1. Selection.Font.Bold = True
    2.     Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine  ' add this line

    should work

    while the above code worked, probably

    VB Code:
    1. Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd

    is more correct to use

    All you need is to write the "Table coming soon text" and then a couple of line breaks and then your .Add table code line.
    VB Code:
    1. Selection.InsertAfter Text:="Table to come"
    2. Selection.Font.Bold = True
    3. Selection.TypeParagraph
    4.  
    5. wrd.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=3, NumColumns ......
