If i have 2 cells (or groups of cells) is there a way to exchange the
contents or do I have to copy/paste the first contents into empty cell, then
copy/paste second contents into first cell, etc, etc....

Thanks.

If it's two whole columns that you have to interchange, select the second
one, then use Cut and the Select the first one and use Paste Columns.

If its just one cell, if you run the following code when the selection is in
the lefthand cell, it will make the substitution

Dim A As Range, B As Range, i As Long, j As Long, Atext As String
i = Selection.Information(wdEndOfRangeRowNumber)
j = Selection.Information(wdEndOfRangeColumnNumber)
Set A = Selection.Cells(1).Range
A.End = A.End - 1
Atext = A.Text
Set B = Selection.Tables(1).Cell(i, j + 1).Range
B.End = B.End - 1
Selection.Cells(1).Range = B.Text
Selection.Tables(1).Cell(i, j + 1).Range.Text = Atext
