Font color won't change in header row of my Table style
One trick to getting & keeping stable tables is to avoid setting font
characteristics in a table style. Use paragraph styles instead. Many technical documents have lots of tables that are quite different from each other and that require a lot of manual formatting. Table styles are great for quickly formatting them. But table style text settings tend to override manual formatting and paragraph styles. (Or the conflicting setting confuse Word.) Your best bet is to start fresh. Clear all formatting and then apply the unmodified table grid style. Create a new table style that is based on table grid and that does not have text formatting specified (font, size, color, horizontal alignment, etc.). Create your table paragraph styles. Three is often enough: table heading, table text, and table bullet. Now apply your new table style and table text paragraph style to the whole table, then apply the table heading and bullet styles appropriately.

I think we'll just go with the table style and accept the black text. Thanks for all your help! If you *reapply* the copied table style to the relevant table(s), does that make a difference? You can use Ctrl+Alt+U to clear the formatting and then [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] help. TIA! -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ables/200807/1 |
