Changing column size on multiple tables
Hi,
I have 100's of small tables across several documents that need their five columns adjusted - at the moment I am ctrl clicking the first column in each table until I reach the end of the document then adjusting the size. This is obviously taking ages! Is there another way of doing this? The columns on the mentioned tables all have the same value in the first cell. Regards, Al. |

Changing column size on multiple tables
If you're using Word 2003 or earlier, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/TablePropPrbs.htm. When you use the legacy Table Cell Height and Width dialog, you can use F4 to repeat settings. Unfortunately, F4 has no effect on Table Properties. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "madlan" wrote in message ...

Changing column size on multiple tables
Hi madlan,
If all the tables in a given document need to have the same configuration, you could use a macro like: Sub SetTableColumnWidths() Dim oTbl As Table For Each oTbl In ActiveDocument.Tables With oTbl .AllowAutoFit = False .Columns(1).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(1) .Columns(2).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(1.25) .Columns(3).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(2.25) End With Next End Sub If you're working in metric units, you could change 'InchesToPoints' to 'CentimetersToPoints'. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "madlan" wrote in message ...
