I am trying to write a script to autofit tables first to content, then to window n Word 2010, as long as they are at least a certain width.
When I manually autofit to content then to window, the tables look nice and evenly spaced, however if I ONLY autofit to window they tend to have really wide first columns and squished up other columns.
code:
Sub AutoFitTables()
If ActiveDocument.Tables.Count > 0 Then
Dim objTable As Object
Application.Browser.Target = wdBrowseTable
For Each objTable In ActiveDocument.Tables
' Check the table width
If objTable.Columns.Width > 11520 Then
objTable.AutoFitBehavior (wdAutoFitContent)
' Again only fit tables above a certain width
If objTable.Columns.Width > 11520 Then
objTable.AutoFitBehavior (wdAutoFitWindow)
End If
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
issue:
The result is the same as when I manually ONLY auto fit to window. It's like it ignores the autofit to contents first
Is there something that I'm missing here? Or does anyone have suggestion of how to achieve the same effect as manually fitting to content, then to window?
edit:
It also seems to be ignoring the width constraint. I believe the table with is returned in Twips, so there should be only 11907 along the short edge and 16840 along the long edge, but not matter how large I set the cutoff (eg objTable.Columns.Width > 20000
) it still autofits all tables. So if anyone knows why that is happening that would be helpful too
