Joining up tables

[Steve Wylie]

If you've got lots of tables in a document, all with the
same amount of
columns but with different column widths, is there an
easy way to merge them
all together into one table of uniform column widths?
Whenever two tables
come together the columns mis-match and only manual
fiddling with the column
widths will fix it. And then only if you're lucky.

I thought initially that I could record a macro setting
the column widths
for one table, then just play it in the subsequent
tables, but it doesn't
appear to work, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Does anyone have any ideas for an easier way, or maybe a
macro programming solution that I haven't thought of?

Hi Steve

I think your idea of having a macro that fixes the column widths for all the
tables is a sound one. If it's not working right it might be because you
also need to ensure that the Autofit behaviour of each table is also set the
same.
