I received a document that had hundreds of tables, all with a nice 3D border. Then somebody said that the border looked ugly so I started writing a macro to change all the borders to something more plain. Changing the borders was simple, but the cells had space between them which resulted in a double border. Getting rid of this space was not so simple.
Finally, I found this little macro at the Egghead Cafe:
With Dialogs(wdDialogTableTableOptions) .AllowSpacing = 0 .Execute End With
A second method (that I did not try) is to use this:
Selection.Tables(1).Spacing = -1
The full macro follows:
Sub remove3dBorder() ' ' remove3dBorder Macro ' ' Dim myT As Table For Each myT In ActiveDocument.Tables myT.Select 'Selection.Rows.HeadingFormat = True With Selection.Tables(1) With .Borders(wdBorderLeft) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorAutomatic End With With .Borders(wdBorderRight) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorAutomatic End With With .Borders(wdBorderTop) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorAutomatic End With With .Borders(wdBorderBottom) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorAutomatic End With With .Borders(wdBorderHorizontal) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorAutomatic End With With .Borders(wdBorderVertical) .LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle .LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt .Color = wdColorAutomatic End With .Borders(wdBorderDiagonalDown).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone .Borders(wdBorderDiagonalUp).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone .Borders.Shadow = False .TopPadding = CentimetersToPoints(0) .BottomPadding = CentimetersToPoints(0) .LeftPadding = CentimetersToPoints(0) .RightPadding = CentimetersToPoints(0) With Dialogs(wdDialogTableTableOptions) .AllowSpacing = 0 .Execute End With .AllowPageBreaks = True .AllowAutoFit = True End With ' turn on header row myT.Cell(1, 1).Select Selection.Rows.HeadingFormat = True Next myT End Sub
