GitHub - codewitch-honey-crisis/pck: The Parser Construction Kit ("Puck")[^]
Syntax highlighting for XBNF, PCK, C# and VB files.
Generates code and pcks.
still alpha, but stable enough anyway, for the most part.
it works as is, but is unfinished, yet cool

some of it. When the codebase gets more stable i'm going to finish it

In the meantime, here are the articles on the project that i have finished so far with more to come. And updates eventually. The latest code is always at Github

Not sure why, but I got to thinking about all the hunting trips my Dad and I did in Alaska, and got a hankering for lunch. Could not find any left over C-Rations, so made a fried Spam sammich and some canned peaches. a 20" rainbow trout or steelhead would have been nice, but alas, you cannot find those in Florida

Sort of - except there were 5 to 10 of us, and we were generally driving a tracked surplus Army vehicle commonly called a 'Weasel'. But we sometimes used horses and pack animals, depending on where we were going (the area around Eureka was particularly interesting, as was the mountains behind and around the Matanuska glacier).

I have a word document for UAT procedures that has over a hundred tables, which have -- very professionally -- been set up with the same properties.
But now I have changed the page margins of the template, making the textarea a few pixels wider, so the width of the tables has to be changed from its current 670px to 100% (using a percentage means never having to change it again).
I've also introduced new paragraph styles for tables, which allow me to get rid of the (unstable-and-cause-other-problems) cell margins of the tables.
The Problem
When ms proudly introduced the next-to-useless, unwanted, annoying pop-up lollipops for adding rows and columns to tables (which, in the next update, they had to make optional, because damned-near everyone wanted to switch the damned things off!), they broke the option to select multiple tables, so I now have to go to each table, open its properties dialog, and make the changes to each table individually.
Well over an hour's work that would previously have taken less than three minutes.
{sigh}
At least this kind of thing doesn't happen with VS, because ms' own developers have to use it.

That's why we have macros. 
Social Media - A platform that makes it easier for the crazies to find each other.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.

Er, yeah.
It would take maybe three hours to research the word internals and create a macro for it.

Sorry. I don't know what came over me, to have such a stupid thought.

Record doing it once. Then replay it.

I'm not sure that the Find Tables function can be used in a keystroke macro. I'll check to see if it's available in the full Find dialog -- if it is, clicking the "Find Next" button is certainly considered as a keystroke.
...
Just tried it here on MSO 2010 (which doesn't have the lollipops). No go. I doesn't advance to the next table.
Good thought, though; worth trying. Cheers.

Not at this point. You already fixed it all by hand.

Have you actually tried to write a Word macro in the last ten years? There are so many security this's and that's to turn off, and they still don't run.

You have a folder opened in Windows Explorer at some given path.
You know you're going to have to navigate to that path in an app you have opened, say, to save a file into that folder. So you click on the address bar, highlight all the text, then hit Ctrl-C to copy the path to the clipboard. You know you're not going to need that folder anymore, so you close that instance of Explorer.
You then switch to the app you have opened, hit File, Save As, click on the address bar just before pasting the path you have saved to the clipboard, and with the Ctrl key pressed down with all text in the address bar highlighted, ready to be replaced, you accidentally hit both C and V at almost the same time. Only, Ctrl-C got registered first. So you've just overwritten the "good" path on the clipboard with a path you don't care about, and Ctrl-V confirms that's exactly what you just did.
So now you have to navigate back to that deeply nested path again to save the file to the correct folder. Assuming you know exactly what it was, because you had already closed Explorer...

Well...TBH this doesn't happen often enough to me to justify $35 USD for some software I'm gonna have to deploy to all the machines I use...especially since Richard below has pointed out that more recent versions of Win10 have a Win-V combination that just might do the trick...
