Copy Special for a Table Tag

[Lin Sims]

Are you trying to change all the tables in a document from one table tag to
another table tag, or are you trying to update all the properties of a
particular table tag?

If the first, you can do it using the Global Update option.


1. Put your cursor inside the one of the tables
2. Open Table Designer
3. Select the new table tag from the drop-down list
4. From the Commands drop-down, select Global Update options
5. Select "All Properties" and "All Tagged". Set All Tagged to the OLD
table tag (the one you want to change FROM)
6. Click Update. Click OK to confirm that you want to change all the tables
tagged with the OLD tag to the NEW tag.

If the second, open the Table Designer, update the properties, and click
Update All. All tables with the same tag will get the new properties.
