Hi there,

what is the MacroName for the function, found in the toolbar, to insert a
table by dragging the mouse and selecting desired number of rows and columns?
I need to override the checkbox .AllowAutoFit = True when a new table is
created that way.
By overriding the Macro TableInsertTable in the desired template I can set
..AllowAutoFit = False which is the desired behaviour. It looks like this:
Sub TableInsertTable ()
With Dialogs(wdDialogTableInsertTable)
If .Show = -1 Then
Selection.Tables(1).AllowAutoFit = False
End If
End With
End Sub

TIA,
Peeter

ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=2, NumColumns:=2,
AutoFitBehavior:=False

Well, what I need is to keep the ability to use the button in the Standard
toolbar, the one that allows you to create the table by "choosing" the number
of rows and columns with the mouse, and still set the attribute
AutoFitBehavior:=False.
To do so I don't know any other way than to override the built-in
function/macro in Word. And for that I need the name of the function.
