Greetings,

Sorry for repeating the message, but I want to add a bit to it.

I had to stop using the align and shrink startup options because at least one of them causes a considerable delay when opening an Org file that contains many tables (in my case, 25 or more tables). The delay makes sense, and it isn't a big deal to not use these options, but I wonder this: Is there a way to tell Org to align and shrink all the tables in an Org file after startup or does it have to be done on an individual basis?

My use case is this: I have an Org file with many tables and I edit some of them which requires me to shrink those tables. Later, I run a macro which accesses and alters all of the tables. I need all of the tables to be in the same state so that the macro runs correctly. I guess the solution is to have the macro put a table in the proper state before it does anything to that table, but that is one more thing I have to remember to put in the macro. It would be easiest if I could just tell Org to unshrink (which is what I actually want) all tables in the file before I run the macro.
