table width after page setup changes

[stoffel]

Hi!

I changed my page setup (smaller margins) and found that all my tables
kept their original (unspecified) width, while i want them all to be
100%.

Is there a quick way to change all the tables' width at once??

Thx

Depends on which version of Word you have?

See:

How can I resize a table to fit the page's width?
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/FitTableToPage.htm

The macro for Word 2000 and later presented in the article:

Selection.Tables(1).PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPercent
Selection.Tables(1).PreferredWidth = 100

can be modified to affect all tables:

Dim t As Table
For Each t In ActiveDocument.Tables
t.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPercent
t.PreferredWidth = 100
Next t
