i have a huge document (several hundred pages) with hundreds of tables
exported from a statistical analysis program (SPSS). specifically, i want
to
make each table "autofit to contents", because this will reduce the size
of
my output by a large amount. i can't seem to find a way to select all
tables
at once; thus i cannot autofit all tables to contents at once.

thanks
