Thanks for the response. I tried using autofitbehavior, but was only
able to use it to set a table's status - not to read what it was.
Maybe I'm not understanding the syntax.

If I have a table declared

Set tbl = selection.Tables(1)

and I have a variable,
Dim Autofit as WdAutoFitBehavior

how do I get the table's current autofit status into that variable?

I tried
Autofit = tbl.autofitbehavior
but that generates an error - autofitbehavior needs a parameter.

Thanks,
Darren
