Microsoft Word VBA Tables Column and Row Manipulation 

Microsoft Word VBA Tables column and row manipulation is easiest when using a recorded macro as your starting point.

The following recorded macro inserts or adds a default table of 2 rows and 5 colums. then it inserts a row and then deletes the row.

Once again, the easiest way to work with a table is to record a macro as your basis, and then adjust the code from there...

Go to the Tools menu > Macros and choose Record New Macro.

Insert a table, add rows/columns, format the columns/rows and the text or what ever you need to accomplish.

 Documents.Add DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument
 ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=2, _
 NumColumns:= 5, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, _
 AutoFitBehavior:= wdAutoFitFixed
 With Selection.Tables(1)
 If .Style <> "Table Grid" Then
 .Style = "Table Grid"
 End If
 .ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True
 .ApplyStyleLastRow = True
 .ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True
 .ApplyStyleLastColumn = True
 End With
 Selection.InsertRowsBelow 1
 Selection.Rows.Delete
