* Re-align All Tables in a Region.

I have a file which contains lots of tables. The document is created by 
a shell script, so when it's opened none of the tables are aligned. Is 
there a command that will let me re-align all tables in a region? There 
are a lot of tables, so I don't want to do them one at a time.

As a workaround I have used #+STARTUP: align in the buffer, which aligns 
them if I C-c on the in buffer setting.

Ian.

Not sure if there is a built-in, but this seems to work for me:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun my-align-all-tables ()
    (interactive)
    (org-table-map-tables 'org-table-align 'quietly))
#+end_src

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Andrew

Neat.  I added an entry for this in the worg/org-hacks.org file.

Thanks,
