I have imported several Microsoft Word documents, each containing hundreds of tables. I need to change the margins and the width of each of these tables, and I only seem to be able to do so one table at a time (using the Table Properties dialog).

Is there any way to select all the tables and change the properties globally?

If not, is there at least a way to copy the properties of one table and then apply those properties to the others? The paintbrush tool doesn't seem to work for me. It only changes the formatting of the text inside the tables and has no effect on the table margins.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I do not think it is possible. Sad

I tried selecting the entire document with several tables in the hope that the Table :: Table Properties menu would work, but selecting anything outside of a table disables that menu.

Are there styles for tables? If so, was Office using them for all those tables, and are they imported properly into Neo?

In that case, you might be able to modify the relevant table styles to change them all.
