// Retrieve the document
MyDocument is Document <- WP_ExampleWP

MyDocument.InsertTable(1, 3, 3)
// Define a fragment corresponding to the table
f is docFragment(TT_ExampleTT.Value, TT_ExampleTT.Cursor, 0)
let para <- f.Paragraph[1]
IF para.Table = Null THEN
	RETURN
END
doc is Document <- WP_ExampleWP.Value
// Adds a row to the table
nIndex is int = Add(para.Table.Rows)
// Input in cell 2,2
