Column object (Publisher)

Represents a single table column. The Column object is a member of the Columns collection. The Columns collection includes all the columns in a table, selection, or range.

Remarks

Use Columns (index), where index is the column number, to return a single Column object. The index number represents the position of the column in the Columns collection (counting from left to right).

Use the Item method of a Columns collection to return a Column object.

Use the Delete method to delete a column from a table.

Example

This example selects column three in the first shape in the active publication. It assumes that the first shape is a table and not another type of shape.

Sub SelectColumn() 
 ActiveDocument.Pages(2).Shapes(1).Table.Columns(3).Cells.Select 
End Sub

This example enters text into the first cell of the third column of the specified table and formats the text with a bold, 15-point font. It assumes that the first shape is a table and not another type of shape.

Sub ColumnHeading() 
 With ActiveDocument.Pages(2).Shapes(1).Table.Columns(3) _ 
 .Cells(1).Text 
 .Text = "Sales" 
 .Font.Bold = msoTrue 
 .Font.Size = 15 
 End With 
End Sub

This example deletes the column added in the previous example.

Sub DeleteColumn() 
 ActiveDocument.Pages(2).Shapes(1).Table.Columns(3).Delete 
End Sub
