I'm new to writing AppleScript, so I'm hoping for a little help: 

I'm trying to write a script to format a table. I want the script to take my highlighted cells and change the width. Then I want the script to move my selection to a specific column and change the width of that column only. This part would repeat three or four times for other columns. 

Then, I want to change the font, style and size. Then I want to format the rows to alternate shading and create a rule above and below the last row in the table. 

I'm sure this is easier than I have been making it. Please help!
