Oh oh, no takers. Perhaps I'll talk myself thru it, pretend I'm Dave!

Step 1 tget the text item containing the table and get the basic table attributes from it (general row, col shading anyway. And see what else can easily transpose).

step 2: create a new text item and newtable with the same attributes except # of rows=old cols, # of cols= old rows

step 3 bigloop thru old rows, littleloop thru old cols
               put each old cell content into newtable row oldcol, col bigloop

done. There that was easy. hmmmm....
