Re: Quick way to adjust table cell margins

Cindy:
Thanks for your input.

It is true you can select the entire column of a table by:
ActiveDocument.tables(2).columns(1).selection

However, the methods and properties are limited and not the same as the WORD
user interface. For example, one cannot set the left margin of all cells in
a particular column through VBA (leftpadding property is not available) on
existing WORD tables. It is only available on a indivdual cell basis.
Therefore, one would have to naviagate each cell in a column which is
prohibitively intensive for a large table.

Any other ideas?
