    Is there any methods to Create a table with specific number of row and column with JavaScript ?
    I would like a to create a 10×10 table. But can’t figure out the way.

    Hi,
    the simplest way is to draw a text frame with active blinking text cursor ( insertionPoint ) and fire this line of code from ExtendSrcript Toolkit or VS Code … :)

    app.selection[0].tables.add({columnCount : 10, bodyRowCount : 10});

    best regards
