Before you asked for text. I told you how to replace, using WP SET TEXT on a selection. Now you want to do a different thing, to work on a cell as whole. In this case you have to select the complete cell and get its reference with WP Table get cells. This reference on the cell is the parameter for WP SET ATTRIBUTES.
