Editing Table in Macro

[Elvis72]

Hello!~

I am trying to setup a Macro that will create a table header and resize the cells.

When I create the macro it will not let me edit the table parameters, I can't change the margins or the cell size?

Is this a finite thing or is there a work-a-round?

Thanks!~

Hi,

What application?

Well this is what I have figured out this far...

I am in Word...and I was able to create the Header Table using the AutoText Function....works Great!~

So, I created another AutoText for the next line in the table, works great...Except when I try to use a Macro to insert a Field for the ListNum, it will not let me click into a cell on the table.

This being said...now hanging the parameters of the table in the Macro is not an issue, BUT now I can't access the cells in that table...

You should be able to reference by table number. To control height, you would do something like:

Selection.Tables(1).Rows([i]Row Number[/i]).height = InchesToPoints([i]Height in Inches[/i])

To modify the data in the row do something like

Selection.Tables(1).Cell([i]Row[/i], [i]Column[/i]).Select
Selection.TypeText text:="Hello World!"

For information on how to do other things with the macros, I would recommend creating a table like you would like, then creating a new macro by recording it, do the process that you would like to try, and then look at the code for the recorded macro. This is a great way to figure out functions and code for things you haven't played with before.

Hope this helps.
