Mike--

Consider using InDesign tagged text to mark up your copy *before* you import it into InDesign. Because table formatting is so slow, I make almost all of my tables using tagged text--which can specify every table formatting attribute--and then dump the tagged text into the InDesign document. VB writes text files *very* quickly.<g>

The easiest way to get started with the markup is probably to export one of your existing tables as tagged text, then look at the file with a text editor. You can then replace the actual copy (the stuff that changes each time) with an unique string. When the time comes to create teh tagged text file, you can use VB's excellent Replace method to change the unique strings into the current version of the copy.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,

Ole
