Thanks Achim!
Can I also set a text value or a reference in a specific table cell?
I tried:
$CellObj:=WP Table get cells(a$TableObj;colNr;rowNr)
WP SET TEXT($CellObj;”test”;wk replace;wk include in range)
but I get an error. When I try ST SET TEXT, the text is placed on top of the 4D
Write document.
