Re: Macro for table problems

One approach, and the one usually recommended for repeating tables:

Forgot the macro (which will break in the next version, anyhow), and save
your custom table as an AutoText (Select it, Insert | AutoText | New, I
think). More info:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm
(hit reload a few times in Safari, or use a different browser)

I think Bend Word to Your Will may also have notes on this:

Hi Everybody

I've created a table specifying all the properties in Word for Mac
2004.

Since I use the format for this particular table frequently, I've tried
without success to create a macro for it.

I create a macro, insert Table (2 columns x 1 row), go to Table
Properties, tick Preferred Width box and specify width, specify Indent
from Left, go to Borders and Shading and specify No Borders, but then
find that the Preferred Width and Indent measurements have disappeared.
If I do it in reverse order, and then tab Row, I also lose the ticked
Preferred Width measurements. If I go through and complete the other
specs, and go back to Table, the macro doesn't produce the required
table, but seems to insert some properties of its own, like width of
column.

Since the original table appears in the document, I assume that its
properties are valid.

I'll be indebted for advice.

Many thanks

John
