Greetings all,

I have a macro in Excel that creates a Word document and inserts various objects from Excel to the Word document. Everything is working as I want except one thing.

In several instances, I am copying an Excel range and pasting into the Word document as a table. The paste is performed at a specific bookmark in the Word document. In my macro, I am trying to go back to two specific tables and set the column widths to the same for each of those two tables. This is how I would like the tables to come out ...

After running my macro, this is how the tables appear ...

I have tried to add some code to my macro, which seems to execute without any errors, however, there is no change in my tables appearance ...

VBA Code:
:
:
' Adjust Column Widths on Reserve Component Maint Schedule Tables

    With newWord.Tables(2) ' Table(2) should be the Completed Schedule Table
        .PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPercent
        .Columns(1).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=10
        .Columns(2).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=13
        .Columns(3).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=13
        .Columns(4).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=13
        .Columns(5).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=8
        .Columns(6).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=13
        .Columns(7).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=30
    End With
    
    With newWord.Tables(3) ' Table(3) should be the Maintenance Schedule table
        .PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPercent
        .Columns(1).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=10
        .Columns(2).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=13
        .Columns(3).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=13
        .Columns(4).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=13
        .Columns(5).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=8
        .Columns(6).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=13
        .Columns(7).SetWidth ColumnWidth:=30
    End With
    :
    :

What am I doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Steve
