column span detection
I do a lot of extracting PDF data using Acrobat's native text/table select
tool. When I copy a table in a PDF, then paste it into Word, I then frequently save the Word doc as HTML. Frequently, when I look at my HTML, I discover that many of the table columns span 2 or more columns, even though in Word, the column appears to be just one column. Is there any way in Word to determine if a column really is a single column, or if it spans multiple columns? Thanks. |

Word handles this differently than HTML, and there isn't an easy way to get at the colspan (or rowspan), short of saving as HTML. You can find out whether there are any merged cells easily (If myTable.Uniform Then ...). For a work-around regarding the colspan by Jeff Hall (don't know if it'll help; depends on what you want to do) see: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/GetRowColSpan.htm Regards, Klaus |
