Hello TJ, Andrew,
Here's the macro I put together this evening.
I tested it and it seems to work but I doubt it is the most efficient
ever written, so I would be very grateful if you could take a look.
At present it applies the background and border to the table where the
cursor is.
I was thinking about applying the change to all the tables in the
document, but it is a risky strategy so at the moment I just check if
the table has more than one row to prevent accidental formatting of the
tips/notes/caution tables.
oh... I forgot... I could not resist stealing the name proposed by TJ :-)
Cheers,
Michele
