title: How do I access a new cell created by Cell(i,j).Split in Powerpoint VBA
body: <p>Assume I have a table in Powerpoint which looks the left table in this illustration. Straight forward, two columns, two rows.</p>
  
  <pre><code>  ___________________                    ___________________ 
   |         |         |                  |         |         |
   |  1,1    |  1,2    |    Split         |  1,1    |  1,2    |
   |         |         |                  |         |         |
   |_________|_________|    -----&gt;        |_________|_________|
   |         |         |    -----&gt;        |         |   ?,?   |
   |  2,1    |  2,2    |                  |  2,1    |_________|
   |         |         |                  |         |   ?,?   |
   |_________|_________|                  |_________|_________|
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have access to the shape holding the table via the following variable</p>
  
  <pre><code>dim myShape As PowerPoint.Shape
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can access the lower right cell using (remember that VBA cells are 1-based, not zero-based)</p>
  
  <pre><code>myShape.Table.Cell(2,2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can split any cell. Let's split the lower right cell into 2 rows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myShape.Table.Cell(2,2).Split 2,1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>my table now looks like the right one of the two tables at the top.</p>
  
  <p>How would I access any of the two cells in the lower right corner, indicated by <code>?,?</code>?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>myShape.Table.Cell(2,2).Shape.Table.Cell(1,1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>for example, to access the upper of these two cells. I have also inspected the respective vba-objects in the vba debugger and did some google research. All I was able to find was how to split cells, not how to access any cells after splitting. How can I do this?</p>
