Set Default Table Properties

[Dax Arroway]

Does anyone have a way of setting default properties for tables? I'm
recreating a large form for work. Because it is printed and written on I'm
having to control the space between questions by inserting single-celled
tables. (I wish there was another way to do this and if anyone has any
ideas, I'm all ears.) I can't copy the table and paste it after each
question (and if there's a way to do this but I'm missing it, I'd love to
know how). So what I'm ending up doing is inserting a new table and
inserting a form field into it, then setting the boundary to 'none', the 'at
least' height to .6".

Is there a way of setting these properties as defaults so I don't have to
keep going back into the properties box and setting these? I"ve got a 17
page document and I'm getting really tired.

Thanks in advance.

RECORD AND THEN RUN A MACRO! HA! Figured it out on my own! Gotta love it.
But... If anyone has an answer to the original question that would be
helpful.

Basically, when trying to control space between questions for those still
using pens, is the best practice to do this by inserting tables? What I'd
love is to have a form field with a minimum height which would hold an inch
of space but expand if that inch were exceded. That way I wouldn't have to
put the form field on it's own line and I could have the answers directly
follow the questions--it's a layout thing.

The macro will work, but it would be simpler to select one of the tables and
make an AutoText entry of it. See
