Re: Do loops and omit a couple of iterations?

It's possible, but not with that kind of syntax. There's a Step option in
the For syntax, but that affects every iteration. Instead, place the
contents of the loop in an If...Then clause like this:

Dim i as integer
For i = 1 to 7
If (i <> 3) And (i <> 4) Then
Set tbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(i)

If tbl.Rows(1) etc. then
'do stuff
End If
End If
Next i

Another possibility, when you have more than just a few items to skip over,
is to use a Select Case clause.

I wonder whether it is possible to iterate through a collection of
objects and omit a couple of iterations, such as

Dim i as integer
For i = 1 to 7 Skip 3,4

Set tbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(i)

If tbl.Rows(1) etc. then
do stuff

End If

Next i

Is this possible, ie. skip the third and fourth table ? `

Help is appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

I inadvertently forgot to say thank you for your valuable help. It is
working fine. Thank you!
