Hah, I posted that earlier in the Insider News.  (OK, maybe I'm looking for some hugs right now, otherwise there's not much point to saying that, haha.)

Ah! I read it! I did a cursory scan but didn't go back to Tuesday.

Maybe he should have used NOTNULL.
Not sure whether seven characters are allowed in a license plate.

In some states, yes. California and Arizona definitely.
California also allows some symbols.

Any states give you enough characters to have 'DROP TABLE'?

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.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

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.
