Custom Table Styles
in [Beginners]
|
From: sharon27lily on 24 May 2010 15:16 I am attempting to create a table style that would work across 30 or 40 templates. I am using the Contemporary Table style as a base in Word 2007. Unfortunately, several aspects of the table I've designed are not working, the main one being the banding of color of every other row. I am able to set up the custom table, and reformat each table to that style, but the banding is not consist. In one case, I recreated the style with a different name, and it disappeared. Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, on the ribbon, I cannot check off the checkbox called banding
From: Terry Farrell on 24 May 2010 15:53 Unfortunately, Table Styles are not really up to much and are a bit of a wasted idea. Better to create some default tables and save then as AutoText entries. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "sharon27lily" <sharon27lily(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:ABD55785-2EE6-494F-BA56-7FA5FEE5B2C8(a)microsoft.com... > I am attempting to create a table style that would work across 30 or 40 > templates.

From: Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com on 24 May 2010 22:37 For tables that I did not create, I've made it a practice to clear table formatting before I apply my table style. If the document is a doc. file(that is, if you are in W2007 compatibility mode) , you cannot apply banding set in a table style. And, of course, you must be able to turn the option _on_ for a table in order for it to appear.
