Here we go:

Sub Main
        oDoc = thisComponent
        oTab = getTextTable()

        dim tcs as string
        oTCS = oTab.getPropertyValue("TableColumnSeparators")

        for i=LBound(oTCS) to UBound(oTCS)
                tcs = tcs + oTCS(i).Position + " "
                'msgbox oTCS(i).isvisible
        next
        msgbox tcs

        oTCS(1).Position = 5555 ' former value 6666
        oTab.setPropertyValue("TableColumnSeparators", oTCS)
End Sub

function getTextTable()
        dim tabs as object
        tabs = oDoc.getTextTables()
        ' einfach die Erste
        getTextTable = tabs.getByIndex(0)
end function

As i wrote this works and the table is updated in the view. Only
the horizontal ruler does not like it. But it is notified
about the change. The texttable has three columns and two visible
divison lines in the ruler (others fall togther with left and right
paper borders) of which the left one between column 2 and 3 get's
shifted out of sight or disappears when the column width is changed.

I can send you the document, if neccessary.

That's okay, we will know then who is responsible. ;-)

One addition: If i grab the separator between column 1 and 2 with
the mouse after the macro ran, the separator between column 2 and
3 reappears and it flips back into the position it was at before!

Thanks again,
Marc

The Linux version shows the same (wrong) behaviour.  Would you like to
