Although Table Cleaner is highly useful for all kinds of table-related tasks, its original raison d'etre was cleaning up tables imported from Word, and that's still its forte. Unless you're dealing with such a large volume that you can justify automating the entire process (e.g., hundreds of FM files), there's no need for a custom script. For all tables in a document, Table Cleaner lets you: -- convert one or more body rows to real heading rows. -- remove all the custom ruling and shading. -- resize all or selected columns, using your choice of several sizing options. -- apply paragraph formats from the selected table to all or selected columns. And you can perform each of those functions on the table formats you choose. For even a large FM doc, you can turn all the crud-filled, custom-ruled, no-heading Word tables into pristine FM tables in no time. You'll save the cost of the plug-in on the first file or two. Of course, I'm sure Rick would be happy to sell you a custom script if you _insist_. :-) Richard G.
