R Ronda Monheiser Aug 7, 2009 #3 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?

D Doug Robbins - Word MVP Aug 8, 2009 #5 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. -- Hope this helps.
