Having to define each "range" and each macro to sort each range doesn't
work for me.
I might be missing something, but I simply wanted to ask my question:
How can a Macro dynamically discover the range of data to apply its logic
to?

Hi, Ed,
You get a reward for spelling out your problem: a direct answer, instead
of an unfortunate runaround.
Your question belongs on the User Forum[1], but you will probably find
the answers already there, with useful code examples and in much greater
detail than the brief explanation below. If you still need to ask
something, sign up for a forum account (that's DIY).
Writer keeps its tables in a collection, available from the document
object. You can iterate through the collection, looking for tables that
meet your criteria for "needs sorting".
Each table has a collection of rows. That collection has a useful
property, ".getCount()", which returns the number of rows.
Happy sorting!
HTH,
