borders for tables in Word XP, doesn't work in Word 2007
Good morning
One of my jobs is to write procedure manuals. For previous versions of Word, we created a template for blocks and subblocks. We could then save these block and subblock tables in the autocorrect option, where when we typed a few letters (blk or sblk), we would get the appropriate block or subblock table to enter text. Hope this makes sense. The process has been the same for numerous employees who have written an unknown number of manuals. However, Office 2007 doesn't show the border lines around the block and subblock tables. I have created a new template for the manuals and for the block and subblock I have added "All Borders" to the template, and then saved the tables in the AutoCorrect feature as mentioned above. So going forward, everything should be fine. However, is there a way programmatically to update all the other documents written in MS Word prior to Word 2007? I have manually udated a couple using the "All Borders" option, but I know that there must be a faster way. Thanks in advance for any assistance. |

To: Devon,
I'm unsure what "All Borders" means, but the following macro will change the borders on all the tables in a document so that the have a single line outside border and a single line inside border. Sub UpdateTablesWithBorders() Dim oTable As Table For Each oTable In ActiveDocument.Range.Tables With oTable.Borders .Enable = True .InsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .OutsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle End With Next oTable End Sub Steven Craig Miller "Devon" wrote: Good morning One of my jobs is to write procedure manuals.
