Paste Table Formats
Hi,
I made some settings to a Word table: background color (Shading.BackgroundPatternColor), borders (Borders.LineStyle /.LineWidth), etc. After that, I have tried to paste the formats to a second table using the FormatPainter. Unfortunately, the mentioned format settings werde not pasted while other settings (e.g. alignment, font) where pasted correctly. Does anybody know how I can paste the mentioned formats to another table? Thanks in advance & best regards Christian

Paste Table Formats
This would be a reasonable use of a table style.

Paste Table Formats
Hi Suzanne,
thanks a lot for that great hint. I didn't know about table styles before. They work fine except one problem: Sometimes, I have more than one heading row or colunm and I didn't find a way to extend the format form the first heading row or column to a 2nd, 3rd, etc. Is there a way to "tell" the table style, how many heading rows and colums the table contains? Or can I flag rows or columns as headers? Regards Christian "Suzanne S. Barnhill" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... This would be a reasonable use of a table style. -- Suzanne S.

Paste Table Formats
I really have no experience or expertise with table styles (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html for some reasons many people avoid them), but it would appear that if you want more than one heading row, you'll have to format them manually. Tagging an extra row as a heading doesn't seem to change the formatting. -- Suzanne S.

Paste Table Formats
I tagged the second row of my test table as heading row. After that,
the row actually inherited the "Header row" format. But this does not work with heading columns because there is no way to tag a column as a heading. I afraid this means that table styles will not solve my problem. Any other ideas that could help me solve my problem? Regards Christian "Stefan Blom" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
