Set table row height of row containing the cursor - vba

Question

I am trying to set the table row height for the Word table row that contains the cursor in one of the cells in the row.
No text is selected; I click on a cell.
Here is my C# code that loops over all rows in the selection and adjusts the row height.
foreach (Row current in sel.Rows) {
current.Height = InchesToPoints(height);
}
The problem is that the code works if the selection contains multiple rows (click in a cell and drag down to a second row), but the code skips the loop if the cursor is placed in a single cell by clicking within the cell. I checked the value of sel.Rows.Count and it is 1 for the single row case, so I expect the loop to run once. But it skips the loop as if sel.Rows.Count was zero.
The selection.Type is selectionIP (in paragraph), and the selection is in a table.
Why would the loop work for two or more rows, but skip the loop when sel.Rows.Count==1? It's like the sel.row.count of 1 is not being treated as a row.
Maybe I need to programmatically select the entire row?

Answer 1

The selection.Type is selectionIP (in paragraph), and of course the
selection is in a table.
This is entirely to be expected. Your selection does not contain any rows as the insertion point has been placed inside a cell. As a result the selection does not contain any table elements.
They can, however, be obtained.
If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) returns true Selection.Information(wdEndOfRangeRowNumber) will provide the row number.
You can then set the row height using:
Selection.Tables(1).Rows(Selection.Information(wdEndOfRangeRowNumber)).Height = InchesToPoints(height)
