Reinhardt--

Dave's got it right (as usual). Here's an example:



tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	set mySelection to selection 
	if (count mySelection) > 0 then 
		set myClass to class of item 1 of selection 
		--If a table is selected, the class of the selection is cell. 
		--Find out whether the selection contains a single cell, a 
		--range of cells, or the entire table. 
		if myClass is cell then 
			set myCount to (count cells of item 1 of selection) 
			if myCount = 1 then 
				display dialog "A single cell is selected." 
			else if myCount = (count cells of parent of item 1 of selection) then 
				--The parent of a cell is a table. 
				display dialog "A table is selected." 
			else 
				display dialog "The selection contains a range of cells." 
			end if 
		else if myClass is row then 
			display dialog "A row is selected." 
		else if myClass is column then 
			display dialog "A column is selected." 
		else 
			display dialog "No table objects are selected." 
		end if 
	end if 
end tell 




You should be able to modify this script to do whatever it is you want to do with the table.

Thanks,

Ole
