Table formatting- column widths to percent

dherr · #1 03-17-2015, 10:03 AM

Hi,
I want to set the columns of a table to procentual values and have written the following code:

Code:

Sub setProz(tb As Word.table, prozentual As Variant)
    Dim i As Integer, co As Integer
    With tb
        .PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPercent
        co = .columns.Count
        For i = 0 To co - 1
            .columns(i + 1).PreferredWidth = Val(prozentual(i))
        Next
    End With
End Sub

The parameters are first a table, second an array, for instance
Array(10, 50, 20, 20) when the table has 4 columns.

The problem is when I use this code, the table doesn't change the column widths at normal runtime.
When I set a debugging breakpoint to the line 'End Sub' the table changes after a second.
I tried to 'refresh' or 'update' the table, but no success...
What's to do?

Regards-
Dietrich
