Global Update to a Table Format

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Jona,

In case in each of your table columns there is a specific
paragraph format or a specific keyword you could do this:

1 Put the insertion point in a table column with the column
  width you want to have. Copy the column width with "Copy
  special".

2 Search for the paragraph format or key word. Select
  "Change by pasting". When everything works you could also
  "Change all".

Best regards

Winfried
