Hi Experts,

I need a javascript for my financial tables. I have 90+ similar tables to do. I am new to scripting. I have created table and formated it in InDesign. Basically what I want is that I want to apply same formatting to selected tables. Table style is limited and it is not working for it, lots of manual task.

Please help.

What do you mean by 'apply the same formatting to selected tables'? Which formatting? Column widths? Alignments? You can check this title:

https://creativepro.com/product/javascript-for-indesign-2nd-edition/

It's an INDesign/JavaScript tutorial for beginners and has several examples of scripting tables.
