Re: Macro for table problems

Hi Beth

I tried this and it worked while the document was open. But when I
saved the document, quit Word, opened again, and tried the Autocorrect,
it produced the table but with borders.

This is what happened with Autotext. Once I save the document, somehow
a defafult of a standard border for the table seems to override my
specs.

Since everyone says that a macro will corrupt, I really would
appreciate learning what I should do.

Many thanks

John

Hi John,

I always use AutoCorrect instead of AutoText for these things (habit). I
just tried it with a table that had no borders at all and with bold in just
one cell. It reproduces fine.

I don't know why AutoText isn't working for you but try AutoCorrect and see
if it makes a difference.

By the way, when you get rid of table borders, they turn gray; they don't
actually disappear (except when you print). Could that be what you're
seeing?

Thanks, Dailya. The reason I tried a macro (which MIcrosoft Support
recommended) was that I'd alrady tried Autotext. When I used this, it
produced borders although the table I'd selected had none, and (if I
remember correctly) it didn't have bold in one column as did the
selected table.
