  Hello developers - I have this macro which sits in a button and when clicked (the macro) removes the table directly above the button. Can this be fixed so that the macro only works once? Ie. if there are 2 tables in the document only 1 is deleted - then the macro ceases to work... can you advise?
  Sub tableDelete()
  '
  ' tableDelete Macro
  'Dim nTables As Integer
  nTables = ActiveDocument.Tables.Count
  ActiveDocument.Tables(nTables).Delete
  '
  End Sub
