(defun add-word ()

(interactive)

'(org-table-put (@2 $2 "word!")))

and execute in a buffer having a table already. It did not work at all.

But also I kept wondering what could happen if there are two separate tables in the same buffer? I checked cells with C-c?, then realized that the cell locations are not unique in more than one table. So, there must be a way to identify the table in question.

Thanks again.

Hi. I'm trying to write an elisp code to enter words into a table of org-mode.

after designating a buffer, which already contains a table, I simply wrote,

'(insert "test!" @2$2)

does not work obviously.

indeed.

Do I need to move the "point" to the particular cell before inserting?

You could to that, using the functions org-table-goto-line and then org-table-goto-column.

However, it is easier to use, for programmatic access to fields, the functions
`org-table-put' and `org-table-get'.
