Table format

Report · Sep 25, 2012

Hi,

I tried to figure out how to auto format a table; googling around I did a patchwork of script snippets and eventually I came to this:

app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().rows.everyItem().properties = {autoGrow:false};

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var everyStory = doc.stories.everyItem();

var everyTable = everyStory.tables.everyItem();

var allRows = everyTable.rows.everyItem().getElements();

for (var i=1, l=allRows.length; i < l; i++) {

var row = allRows;

row.height = "2 cm";

row.width = "2 cm";

};

Now, this works fine but it seems to affect every row EXCEPT the first one. I have to stress out thatin my table there is no Header row at all.

How is this?

Thank you,

Hi,

JS starts counting 0.

You may shorten it:

var allRows = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().rows.everyItem().getElements();
l = allRows.length;
for (var i = 0; i <  l; i++) {
   with(allRows){
//set all rowProperties here
   height = "2 cm";
   width = "2 cm";
   autoGrow = false;
}
};

This is embarassing...

Thank you, hans

or without loop:

with(app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().rows.everyItem()){
    autoGrow:false;
height = "2 cm";
    width = "2 cm";
   }
