Making a table "hidden text"
I want to make a table and the content hidden. When I do so, it seems to
work in that if I have the show hidden text option off, the table is no longer visible and the text before and after the table do get closer together. However if I do a replace on all hidden text to delete it, the content in the table gets deleted, but the table remains. I end up with a blank table. How can I either make the table hidden as well, or delete *all* the tables in my document at once? |

The following macro will delete all tables in the body of a document; it
won't reach those in headers or footers.

To add to that..I want to avoid the making rows 1 point method because the table is used internally ..so then I would have to go through and manually change every table. It's a document that internally we need certain data for, but externally we have to delete that data. I thought hidden text was the best way.

And if you only want to delete hidden tables:
Dim oTable As Table For Each oTable In ActiveDocument.Tables If oTable.Range.Font.Hidden Then oTable.Delete End If Next oTable Regards, Klaus "Charles Kenyon" wrote: The following macro will delete all tables in the body of a document; = it=20 won't reach those in headers or footers. =20 Sub AllTablesDelete() ' Written 2005 June 10 by Charles Kenyon ' Deletes all tables in the body of a document ' Dim oTable As Table For Each oTable In ActiveDocument.Tables oTable.Delete Next oTable End Sub =20 --=20 Charles Kenyon =20 Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word =20 Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide =20 See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
