How to find all tables and change the table tag?

Hello there!

Table tags are not consistently used in my book. I want to apply a specific table tag for all the tables in my book. Is there any quickest way to search for all tables and apply the table tag to all?

NOTE:

  • I already have table tags created.
  • I use FM 12
  • I know that I can select Any Table in the Find field.

How to apply the table tag for all at once?

Many Thanks,

Avani

Unfortunately, Copy > Special doesn't permit copying of table tag (I suggest you submit to adobe.com/go/wish)

Also, Table Cleaner (Carmen Publishing Inc. Store ) doesn't let you do this (Hey Rick, how about adding that feature?)

Until either of those options is improved, you could try saving as MIF and editing in a text editor, or just locate individual tables with Find/Change.
