Kathleen-- 

Okay, I've got one. Now...I told you this would be sleazy, right?<g> 

Rem Given a cell "myCell" in a document "myDocument"... Set myPolygon = myCell.CreateOutlines(False) Set myPage = myPolygon.Item(1).Parent myDocument.Undo myPageName = myPage.Name myPageIndex = myPage.Index  

When you use CreateOutlines with the DeleteOriginal parameter set to false, you get a polygon floating on top of the original cell. That polygon is not part of the table, so its parent is the page. You can then safely undo the action to get rid of the converted characters. 

Hope this works for you--at least until I can come up with a more elegant method. 

Thanks, 

Ole
