Judy, This did work. The only disadvantage is that you had to cycle through all the tables before you could get out of it tow work with the table. I would imagine that this behavior could be modified, but I don't know enough about visual basic to change it. At any rate, it worked, and was much faster than any other way I've found so far.
Thanks, Melissa Judy s. wrote:
Melissa, I can't find anything in Word per se to let you search for the codes that identify a table.However, I did find this on Microsoft's website - a macro you can use to find tables - from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212692You need to program it in using the visual basic editor. Here's the code:Sub FindTables() Dim iResponse As Integer Dim tTable As Table 'If any tables exist, loop through each table in collection. For Each tTable In ActiveDocument.Tables tTable.Select iResponse = MsgBox("Table found. Find next?", 68) If response = vbNo Then Exit For 'User chose to leave search. Next MsgBox prompt:="Search Complete.", buttons:=vbInformation End Sub Let me know if you try it, and if it works. smile. Judy s. Melissa Smith wrote:I want to find the tables. I thought there would probably be something to search for in Word's find and replace dialog like the ^m for page breaks. This way I could find each one, and then convert it to text, which I know how to do.Thanks, MelissaTo unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
