I have a macro that resizes all column of a certain colour, which includes this code:
However, if I manually drag-and-widen a column, then run the macro, it doesn't work. The padding remains unchanged. Any ideas?

Probably because Column does not have a LeftPadding or RightPadding property. You’ll need to loop through the Cells collection of the column.

Apologies, I put the wrong code in. It should have been:
...which I presumed would ripple down to the cell level. Is that not so?

Assuming thisTable points to the correct table, your latest code works for me.

Yes, it works for me, too. But it doesn't if I drag-and-widen a column first.

Which is exactly what I did before running a macro with your code in it - and it worked.

Ah, I see, it works for you even if you drag-and-widen the column before running the macro. Curious.

I'm afraid I'm stumped. I guess I'll have to loop through the cells and do it that way.

Thanks for your help.
