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,
