I am trying to use mapkeys to create a table and then justify the table so the text is centered and in the middle. The macro creates the table wth no problems, but it will not apply the settings and I have tried remappng several times and even creating a macro to just apply the settings. Any ideas what would solve this?

Here's an update. I can use 1 hot key to create the table, another one will open up the properties window of the table. And this is where I am stuck, the macro will not switch tabs and I cannot figure out why. If I switch tabs, the settings can then be applied by the macro. Is this some sort of focus issue where it is not grabbing the window to apply the commands?

Instead of using a mapkey to create a table, why not create a table, apply the desired the settings, and then save it? Then you can reload that table (create a table from file instead of brand new). You could use a mapkey to reload that saved table. Just an idea.

That seems like a good way of doing it, is there a way to store files like this in a seperate directory that can be called easily? Or do I always have to have the table stored in my working directory?
