Reply To: Table script for setting var column widths

It says something like:

Error: 8
Syntax Error

Engine: main
File (etc)
Line:18
Source: alert(“Table width updated sucessfully…”);
Responsible text: ”

Ooh, I just fixed this one with Extendscript Toolkit (I found the debug function there). There where typographic quotes instead of dumb ones.

But now it still stops at:
with (myDoc.viewPreferences){

Anyway, I found out this script will change all the colums in the document and that’s not what I was looking for.

This was what I needed:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myWidths = [100, 100, 150, 150];
for(var j=0; j < myWidths.length; j++)
{
app.selection[0].columns[j].width = myWidths[j];
}

So simple, so efficient;) After all, it was good to dive into the world of table scripting and all the possibilities there are. Ari, thanks for your time and response.
