Here's an AutoIt macro for adding a column and resizing it. Install
AutoIt (free). Find "Any Table" and copy the desired "table column
width" before running the macro.
Let me know if you need any help running it.
; Adds a column to the right of each table
; Find "Any Table" and copy a "table column width" before running this macro
Dim $max
Dim $x = 1
$max = InputBox("","How many iterations?","5")
WinActivate("Adobe FrameMaker")
WinWaitActive("Adobe FrameMaker")
While $x <= $max
Sleep(200) ; pause 100 milliseconds
Send("^+f") ; find next (CTRL+SHIFT+f)
Sleep(200) ; pause 100 milliseconds
Send("{ESC}tme") ; move insertion point to rightmost cell
Sleep(200) ; pause 100 milliseconds
Send("{ESC}tcr") ; add column to the right
Sleep(200) ; pause 100 milliseconds
Send("^v") ; paste (CTRL+v)
$x = $x + 1
WEnd

Adding a column to multiple tables
All,
I havea twochapters in a guide that I am currently working on that
have over 100 tables each. The format for the tables was supposedly
locked down, but now, I have been asked to add an additional column to
every table. It would be the last(right-most column) in the table and
it must have width of 1.25". Is there a way to semi-automate this
process as at all in Framemaker? If I were copying rows that would be
one thing as Framemaker gives you the optionabout the location topaste
copied table rowsbut not w/ columns. Right now, I am just pointing and
clicking and using the Insert column and Resize column options and at
this rate, I will burn half a day!
Thanks,
TVB
