In my work of generating pricing and specification tables in my ID
documents I need to update these pricing and specifications from time
to time.

I would be interested in a script that generated an array of all the
table references in a "Book" or "Document".  This seems to be a
daunting task as tables can exist in other tables and text frames.  The
routine would have to search every nook and cranny to root out all the
tables in a document.

I am about to try coding this myself in Javascript but I was wondering
if anyone would be kind enough to share their efforts with the group.
>From my search I see that many others might benefit from this sort of
routine.

Thanks in advance...
