macOS applescript align column in word table

[Freez]

I am stuck on how to right align a column of a Microsoft Word table using applescript.

Any advice would be appreciated.

This doesn't work.

tell application "Microsoft Word"
	
	set txt to selection's text object
	set default table separator to tab
	set theResult to convert to table txt
	set myTable to table 1 of the active document
	auto fit behavior myTable behavior auto fit content
	set paragraph alignment of {myTable, column 3} to align paragraph right
end tell

osx 10.9.1, Microsoft Word for mac 2011 14.3.9, applescript 2.3

You can do something like this :

tell application "Microsoft Word"
	set myTable to table 1 of the active document
	repeat with i from 1 to count rows of myTable
		set alignment of paragraph format of text object of (get cell from table myTable row i column 3) to align paragraph right
	end repeat
end tell
