Thanks! I’ve just purchased TableCleaner and am happily using it.

Use Rick Quattro's TableCleaner plugin. If the tables are consistently tagged and all of them have to be the same sizes, you can use its Resize All Table Columns function.
It's a life saver.

I’m converting the style of my documentation set (about 100 manuals), and that means the column width of some single-cell tables ought to change. They have unique and consistent table styles (there’s 3 types of them), and they all have to be set to the same width. I’ve changed the table width in the template, but the widths don’t change when I import formats. Copying and pasting the column width is kind of tedious. Is my best bet an ExtendScript script?

I’m using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7.
