Thanks! I’ve just purchased TableCleaner and am happily using it.

Use Rick Quattro's TableCleaner plugin. If the tables are consistently tagged 
and all of them have to be the same sizes, you can use its Resize All Table 
Columns function.
It's a life saver.

the widths don’t change when I import formats. Copying and pasting the column 
width is kind of tedious. Is my best bet an ExtendScript script?

I’m using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7.
