Find / delete tables

[Mat]

I want to search a document and delete any tables found.
I cant see how to select a 'table' in VBA. This should
loop and search through whole document. Any help would be
really appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Mat. Try recording a macro that does Edit-Go to-Table...
<-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*->
Hope this helps!

Hi Mat,

I want to search a document and delete any tables found.
I cant see how to select a 'table' in VBA. This should
loop and search through whole document.

Try this:

For Each tbl in ActiveDocument.Tables
tbl.Delete
Next tbl

It's much better to work with the object model whenever
possible, rather than selecting and manipulating things the
way users do. Users can see what they're doing, the macro
can't
