I am creating a word doc which has both text and tables using win32::ole. I am creating the table using the below sample code. Problem is writing the text after the table. I am not able to move the selection to the end of the table. The text I want to write after the table, appears within the table based on the wrapping of the text in the table cell. Please suggest.

Below code works fine

 
use Win32::OLE;
my ($t_row, $t_col) = (3,3);
my $word = Win32::OLE->CreateObject("Word.Application");
$word->{Visible} = 1;
my $doc = $word->Documents->Add('D:\new.dotx',0,0,-1);
my $table = $doc->Tables->Add($word->Selection->Range,$t_row, $t_col);
$table->Select();

$table->Cell(1,1)->Range->{Text} = "heading1";
$table->Cell(1,2)->Range->{Text} = "heading2";
$table->Cell(1,3)->Range->{Text} = "heading3";
$table->Cell(2,1)->Range->{Text} = "Data21";
$table->Cell(2,2)->Range->{Text} = "Data22";
$table->Cell(2,3)->Range->{Text} = "Data23";
$table->Cell(3,1)->Range->{Text} = "Data31";
$table->Cell(3,2)->Range->{Text} = "Data32";
$table->Cell(3,3)->Range->{Text} = "Data33";
$word->Selection->MoveDown(5,4);
$doc->ActiveWindow->Selection -> TypeText("This line should be after t
+he table");

Problem with the Below Code is that it prints the line within the table

use Win32::OLE;
my ($t_row, $t_col) = (3,3);
my $word = Win32::OLE->CreateObject("Word.Application");
$word->{Visible} = 1;

my $doc = $word->Documents->Add('D:\new.dotx',0,0,-1);
my $table = $doc->Tables->Add($word->Selection->Range,$t_row, $t_col);
$table->Select();

$table->Cell(1,1)->Range->{Text} = "heading1";
$table->Cell(1,2)->Range->{Text} = "heading2";
$table->Cell(1,3)->Range->{Text} = "heading3";
$table->Cell(2,1)->Range->{Text} = "Data21";
$table->Cell(2,2)->Range->{Text} = "Data22";
$table->Cell(2,3)->Range->{Text} = "Data23";
$table->Cell(3,1)->Range->{Text} = "Data31aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
+aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
+aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
$table->Cell(3,2)->Range->{Text} = "Data32";
$table->Cell(3,3)->Range->{Text} = "Data33";
$word->Selection->MoveDown(5,4);
$doc->ActiveWindow->Selection -> TypeText("This line should be after t
+he table");
