delete colmuns in a Ms Word document

Hello,

Here is a TBS plug-in that enhances OpenTBS and enables you to delete some columns in a table of an Ms Word documents.

tbs_plugin_delcol.php
<?php

/*

This TBS plug-ins enables you to delete the columns you want in any table of an Ms Word Document.
It is supposed to be used with OpenTBS.

Version 1.00
Skrol29, 2011-10-07

Installation:
--------------

  $TBS = new clsTinyButStrong;
  $TBS->Plugin(TBS_INSTALL, OPENTBS_PLUGIN);
  $TBS->Plugin(TBS_INSTALL, DELCOL_PLUGIN);

Use:
----

You have to put a TBS field anywhere inside the table with the following parameters:
The field will be erased and the specified columns will be deleted.

* ope=delcol
* colnum   = the column numbers to delete, separated with commas (first colmun is number 1).
* colshift = (optional) if parameter "colnum" has only on value then "colshift" extends the number of columns to delete to the left of to the rigth.
  
Both parameters "colnum" and "colshift" can contain  [val] and [var] fields.
  
Examples:
---------

[onload;ope=delcol;colnum=2,4,6]         => will delete columns {2,5,6}
[onload;ope=delcol;colnum=2;colshift=2]  => will delete columns {2,3,4}
[onload;ope=delcol;colnum=2;colshift=-1] => will delete columns {1,2}

[onload.col_to_delete;ope=delcol;colnum=[val];colshift=2] => will delete 3 colmuns staring to column number $col_to_delete
