Heh, no I'm not sure. Unfortunately, shaking my fist at it doesn't seem to fix it.

So, I am now able to move the cursor to the position I want with this: 
my $word  = CreateObject Win32::OLE 'Word.Application' or die $!;
$word->{Visible} = 1;

my $document = $word->Documents->Open('C:/temp/doctest.doc');

my $table = $word->ActiveDocument->Tables(2);

$table->Range->Copy;

my $selection = $table->Select;

$word->Selection->MoveUp(wdLine,1);

That gets the cursor to the start of the line I want! Now I just am not sure how to pull out the full line so I can to a regular expression on it.
