Unmerge table cells scritp. Help

[Tomooo]

I need a script that would unmerge all cells whitin all of the tables found in active text frame. Aditionally it would resize collum widths and row heights to accomodate hidden text.

I have lots of badly put togehter tables from Word. Automation would help a lot.

Thx!

This one-liner unmerges all cells in all tables in the active document:

app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().unmerge();

Hi Peter,

I have seen your script for unmerging all merged cells in tables within a document (which works very well) but is there a way to specify to only merge specific cells in a table e.g 1st column, rows 1, 2 and 3.

I have a indesign document that has 100's of tables and a script would be very helpful.

thank you

David

Hello David,

I'm sure there is one, but I don't know of it. Maybe ask in InDesign's

scripting forum.

best,

Peter
