word table names in vba

i am trying to find out the names of tables in my word document so that i can
select them in vba, i cannot find this anywhere same with text boxes, i was
abl to find the text box names by creating a text box, recording a macro then
selecting the table and moving it then i got the textbox name in the macro
code usually something like "text box 501" however this trick does not work
with tables, any help would be appreciated

Tables don't have names. You can refer to tables from VBA by index number
(they number sequentially from start of document); or in several other ways
depending on what you're trying to do.

BTW, you can assign your own names to textboxes.
