Gang--

For whatever it's worth, I'm not wild about the current Parent properties in tables. We're working this right now, and would appreciate your feedback.

I would like to see Cell.Parent return the table, Cell.ParentTextFrame return the parent text frame of the cell. The row and column references can already be gotten from Cell.Name, but I'd like to see Cell.ParentRow and Cell.ParentColumn properties, as well.

The only trouble with this is the case of merged cells, or cells which span multiple frames/pages. In those cases, I would expect the first qualifying object to be returned by the reference.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Ole
