try this,

if(app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.length>0)

app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().bottomEdgeStrokeWeight = 0;
app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().topEdgeStrokeWeight = 0;
app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().leftEdgeStrokeWeight = 0;

Why are you saying this?!? You are posting in the InDesign Scripting Forum.

Nevertheless, the following code is removing all strokes from the table of your sample document. Just tested that.

app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().properties =
{
    bottomEdgeStrokeWeight : 0 ,
    topEdgeStrokeWeight : 0 ,
    leftEdgeStrokeWeight : 0 ,
    rightEdgeStrokeWeight : 0
};

After running the ExtendScript code:

Uwe:

I posted here because there were several other posts about not being able to remove the TABLE borders. I see you had removed the CELL borders. If you look on the TABLE settings, you will see I had to select "Paper" as the TABLE border (the border that goes around the outside of the table) so that it blends with the paper. If I select NONE or set the the width to 0, it defaults to black.

Thanx.

Hi,

Try this ...

var mTables = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
var mLen= mTables.length;
while (mLen --) {  
    mTables[mLen].topBorderStrokeWeight = 0;
    mTables[mLen].bottomBorderStrokeWeight = 0;
    mTables[mLen].leftBorderStrokeWeight = 0;
    mTables[mLen].rightBorderStrokeWeight = 0;
  }
alert("Done")
