How to change the border color of all tables in a Google Document?

I'm trying to set the border color to white for every table in my document using the script below, but even though getColor() returns '#ffffff' for each table, table borders remain the same in the actual document.

How can I get it done? And why does the code fail?

function whiteBorders() { var body = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody(); var tables = body.getTables(); for(var i in tables) { tables[i].setBorderColor('#ffffff'); } }

I think if you check the logs, you'll see errors on this line:

var body = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody();

I'm not an expert to give you the in-depth explanation of what caused this but I rectified your code and was able to successfully change the border colors in my Google Docs.

This is all the code:

function changeBorderColor() {
  var doc = DocumentApp.openById('ENTER_DOCUMENT_ID');
   var body =doc.getBody();
    var tables = body.getTables();
    for(var i in tables) {
        tables[i].setBorderColor('#00ff00');
    }
}

This set my table borders to Green. Hope that helps :)
