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.

Thank you Ari, but still.. it doesn’t work :\

Is the width always in points, or given by the program prefs?
