In this article I will explain how you can use VBA for word to resize table columns and rows.

Every word document has a Tables collection The first step in working with a table in VBA for word is to determine the table index. Tables in a word document start from the index “1” and go up. So for example the first table would be referenced by using the statement below:

Tables.Item(1)

 The second table would be reference by using:

Tables.Item(2)

 and so on . . .

All examples in this article will use the table below as their initial table:

Modify Row Height:

The code below will change the height of the first row of the first table to 50 points:

Tables.Item(1).Rows.Item(1).Height = 50


Result:

Modify Column Width:

The code below will change the width of the first column to 20 points:

Tables.Item(1).Columns(2).Width = 20


Result:
