In a word document I have tables and some of them have lines of text after them. So it goes tables, lines of text, table etc. I can select the table fine with: 

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

What I need to do is select the table and select a number of line after the table. I am doing this so I can use Word's keepWithNext feature so the entire table and lines are on the same page.

I have ran some macros in word and have been looking at MoveDown and MoveUp. Neither of these can I get to work. I'm given this pattern in VBA: 

Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend

[download]
Selection.MoveDown

If I try to use wdLine it says "bareword 'wdline' not allowed." With either of these lines: 

$word->selection->MoveDown({Unit => wdline,Count=>1,Extend=> wdExtend,
+});
$word->selection->MoveDown(wdLine,1);

Is there a better way to do what I want or can you help me get the correct format using MoveDown. Thanks!
