Powershell Word Table single row error - powershell

Question

I have the following function that I provide 3 arrays as variables
$columnHeaders = #('Ticket ID', 'Date Raised', 'Title', 'Status' )
$columnproperties = #('number', 'opened_at', 'short_description', 'state')
$contents
$contents has multiple rows of data matching the columns above, however sometimes may only have 1 row. When the $contents only has 1 row the below function errors out and doesnt print the data.
Using ISE I traced the issue to the $contents.count not showing a value, why is this? is there a way to get around it?
function TableOutput ($columnHeaders, $columnProperties, $contents){
# Number of columns
$columnCount = $columnHeaders.Count
# Create a new table
$docTable = $Word.ActiveDocument.Tables.Add($Word.Selection.Range,$contents.Count,$columnCount)
# Table style
$doctable.Style = "Adapt Table"
# Insert the column headers into the table
for ($col = 0; $col -lt $columnCount; $col++) {
$cell = $docTable.Cell(1,$col+1).Range
$cell.Font.Bold=$true
$cell.InsertAfter($columnHeaders[$col])
}
$doctable.Rows.Add() > Null
# Load the data into the table
$i = 1
$j = $contents.Count
for($row = 2; $row -lt ($contents.Count + 2); $row++){
if($row -gt 2){
}
for ($col = 1; $col -le $columnCount; $col++){
Write-Progress -Activity "Processing Table Information" -Status "Adding Row entry $i of $j" -PercentComplete (100*$i/$j)
$cell = $docTable.Cell($row,$col).Range
$cell.Font.Name="Calibri"
$cell.Font.Size="10"
$cell.Font.Bold=$FALSE
$cell.Text = $contents[$row-2].($columnProperties[$col-1])
}
$i++
}
$doctable.Columns.AutoFit()
}
any help is greatly appreciated.

Cast $content as an array of strings and see if that doesn't work better for you.
function TableOutput ($columnHeaders, $columnProperties, [string[]]$contents){
Edit: Sorry, my bad, you are passing objects with properties ad descripbed in $columnheaders, so you would need to cast it as an array of objects instead:
function TableOutput ($columnHeaders, $columnProperties, [object[]]$contents){
Tested on my end, it works fine with 1 object being passed to the function, as well as an array of two objects being passed to the function.
