docbud I do apologize, InDesign CS4 running on Mac OSX Snow Leopard Mac. Thanks I'll give it a try.

James, I think you're on to something. Now I'm wondering if I can create a custom stroke that behaves like a solid type stroke but with an angle… gotta do more research. Thanks for the help.

Right, the deadline is extremely tight and on top of these 200+ pages I have to go back three years worth of documents and implement the revised styles because often there's a need to do pick-ups in new materials. The price already has a paragraph style, my intention was to make an edit that will globally add a striketrough/rule and give it an angle.

I've tried to wrap my head around scripting and it's been quite a challenge, GREP has potential I just hoped to have something a bit easier. I've done the work cell by cell for now but will need something more automated going forward. Will do some more research regarding scripting.

Again, thank you all for the help.

Thank you two for the quick response but for a book containing ballpark 200 pages with at least an average of 2 to 4 tables with average of 6 rows and 10 columns seems like too much work to do. Plus, the text is dynamic as the prices change at least twice a month. Creating an angle on a strikethrough or a rule is the best answer for me because of the text, I may have to learn how to create a script to change this in a global paragraph style.

Thanks

I tried that already, my client's not happy with that one. Has to be within the bounds of the text only. Plus, sometimes there's space below that is left blank when the row's text elsewhere goes 2 lines and the prices remain top aligned in the cell.
