I have a lot of tables where certain rows need to be certain heights and the text needs to be a certain style and the text needs to be positioned centrally (other rows might be different styles etc). Of course, not every row is the same, but there is a pattern. Can scripting help me. I also within the tables need to find numbers and need those numbers to be in a certain character style. It is all very mechanical and very tiresome, since my tables, for various reasona are continuous across 100-pages and more (on a vertical thread).

Can scripting help me on the above and if so, where should I start. If learning how to script can take the back-break out of this, I'll try my hand at it.

Hope someone can help - Thanks - Graham
