I do it this way: Cursor is in the cell or text is selected in the cell or cell is selected. I get the selection using WP Get selection. The I call WP SET TEXT with the selection range, give the new text and set parameters 3 and 4 accordingly.

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.
