I believe replacetext is for use by the Find object which is a probable cause
for the error you're getting. You can use wildcards with the Find object, if
that helps. In theory if the range references the cell, you could do something
like this (untested pseudo-code warning!):
m.loRange=m.loWord.ActiveDocument. tables[1].RANGE()
WITH m.loRange
.Find.MatchWildcards=.t.
.Find.execute([*],,,.T.,,,.T.,1,,[newtext],2)
ENDIWTH
I use code similar to this for replacing text in a document. Check the docs for
what each of those parameters represents in the Find object. If I can find a
little time today I'll see if I can come up with a snippet that is not untested
pseudo-code...

Subject: Word automation
Trying to figure out how to replace text in a cell in a table in a Word
document.
otable1 = oword.activedocument.tables[1]
WITH otable1
.cell[1,1].range.insertbefore("newtest")
.cell[1,1].range.insertafter("newtest")
endwith
This will add the text to the front and back of what's already there, but what
I'd really like to do is replace the text in that cell...
I tried ".cell[1,1].range.replacetext("newtest")", and other variations, but
get an error message.
The Find and replace won't work here because the text in that cell isn't
consistant.
