Deleting a cell in a table in Word VBA

Question

I have created a table called "valtable2" and I am trying to delete the text in one of the cells.

With valtable2
  .Cell(2, 1).Select
  Selection.Delete
End With
With valtable2
  .Cell(2, 1).Select
  Selection.Delete
End With

The cell is being selected, but it doesn't delete.

The answer in the linked post encourages the use of Select, which can be avoided in this instance — bm13563, Jun 24 '19 at 19:07

Try to avoid using Select where possible. You could just set the cell value to nothing:

valtable2.Cell(2, 1).Range.Text = ""
