Working with multiple tables...

[Ronda Monheiser]

Is it possible to reformat multiple identical word tables at one time?

It depends on what you want to change (text?, font?, borders?, shading?, etc.)
and what version of Word you are using.

Thank you for the reply. I need to change the column width on each of them.
There are 50 identical tables in the Word 07 document and I would just like
to be able to reformat the columns all at one time.

Any recommendations?

I think you might have to do that through a macro. You might ask your
question in the word programming forum.

Use a macro with code like:

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Tables.Count
With .Tables(i)
.Columns(1).Width = InchesToPoints(2)
End With
Next i
End With

which will set the width of the first column in each of the tables to 2
inches.
