Select the table and insert a bookmark and then use the following code:

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Table").Range.Font.Hidde n = True

I want to hide some tables in a Word doc and almost seem to be able to do
it.
If I define a para style and make the font in the style Hidden and then
select the para before the table, the table itself, and the para after the
table and tag it with the style, everything I want to disappear, actually
disappears and the spacing on the page adjusts appropriately. When I make
a
pdf of the page at this stage, it works. The table remains hidden. But ...
when I save and open the doc again, the tables are back (though text
remains
hidden). Any solutions, workarounds?
