Default formatting tables in a document

Hi,

I would like to know how to use VB editor to select and format all the
tables in a long document. I want to do the following:

Select the tables
Remove all the borders (they are now set to show borders on all sides of
each cell)
Hide all gridlines
Change the default cell margins to 0.00"
Change the column widths - the third column has to be 1" wide, and the
fourth column has to be 5" wide. There are five columns in each table.
Remove the first two and last columns

Is there any way to do this without selecting and changing each table
individually? Is any part of this possible to do?

The other way I can accomplish what I need to do is the following:

Select all the tables
Remove the first two and last column (keeping only the third and fourth
columns)
Convert the tables to text with the following specifications:
The paragraph formatting is set to Hanging by 1"
However, the other text in the document (that did not start out in tables)
will not be formatted this way.

This second way will make the final outcome look the same, so I can do it
this way as well.

Any input will be appreciated!

Thanks!
