How to access TblFmt from a Tbl object?

[varuns44789478]

Is there any way to get a TblFmt from a selected Tbl which I can then use to set the TblFmt while creating a new Tbl from selected paragraphs? I am looking to convert a table to paragraphs, work on the paragraphs and then reconvert the paragraphs into a new table with the same format as previous table. I have a TextRange of selected paragraphs and am able to create a new Tbl using FCode KBD_TABLE_CONVERT but I want the new Tbl to have the same properties as the old Tbl.

#target framemaker
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var tbl = doc.SelectedTbl;
var tblFmt = doc.GetNamedTblFmt (tbl.TblTag);
alert (tblFmt.ObjectValid ());
