Hi,

I import Word documents in InDesign CC, wich contains several tables.

I need to select ALL tables and then change the size of the text inside the cells and I need to change the table strokes inside and the table-border.

I know how to install a script in InDesign – though I have not yet tried to work with a script ...

... hope my first time will be succesfull :-))))

Hope that somebody can help me.

Regards,

Pia (graphic designer)

    hi..

    try this

    change the values as your requirement:

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().pointSize = "3pt";
    

    

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().topInset = "3pt";
    

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().bottomInset = "3pt";
    

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().leftInset = "3pt";
    

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().rightInset = "3pt";
    

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().bottomEdgeStrokeWeight = "0.5";
    

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().topEdgeStrokeWeight = "0.5";
    

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().leftEdgeStrokeWeight = "0.5";
    

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().rightEdgeStrokeWeight = "0.5";
