Last updated 6/6/2015

Table/Cell Styles panels overview

Use the Table Styles panel (Window > Styles >Table Styles) to create and name table styles, and to apply the styles to

existing tables or tables you create or import. Use the Cell Styles panel (Window > Styles > Cell Styles) to create and

name cell styles, and to apply the styles to table cells. Styles are saved with a document and appear in the panel each

time you open that document. You can save table and cell styles in groups for easier management.

When you position the insertion point in a cell or table, any style that is applied is highlighted in either of the panels.

The name of any cell style that is applied through a table style appears in the lower left corner of the Cell Styles area. If

you select a range of cells that contains multiple styles, no style is highlighted and the Cell Styles panel displays

“(Mixed).”

Open the Table Styles or Cell Styles panel

❖ Choose Window > Styles, and choose Table Styles or Cell Styles.

Change how styles are listed in the panel

• Select Small Panel Rows to display a condensed version of the styles.

• Drag the style to a different position. You can also drag styles to groups that you create.

• Choose Sort By Name from the panel menu to list the styles alphabetically.

Define table and cell styles

1 If you want to base a new style on the formatting of an existing table or cell, place the insertion point in a cell.

2 If desired, define a paragraph style for the cell style.

3 Choose Window > Styles >Table Styles to open the Table Style panel, or choose Window > Styles > Cell Styles to

open the Cell Styles panel.

4 Choose New Table Style from the Table Styles panel menu, or choose New Cell Style from the Cell Styles panel menu.

5 For Style Name, type a name.

6 For Based On, select which style the current style is based on.

7 To define a style shortcut, position the insertion point in the Shortcut text box and make sure that Num Lock is on.

Then hold down any combination of Shift, Alt, or Ctrl (Windows) or Shift, Option, and Command (Mac OS), and

press a number on the numeric keypad. You cannot use letters or non-keypad numbers for defining style shortcuts.

8 To specify the formatting attributes, click a category on the left and specify the attributes you want. For example, to

assign a paragraph style to a cell style, click the General category, and then choose the paragraph style from the

Paragraph Style menu.

For cell styles, options that don’t have a setting specified are ignored in the style. If you don’t want a setting to be part

of the style, choose (Ignore) from the setting’s menu, delete the contents of the field, or click a check box until a small

box appears in Windows or a hyphen (-) appears in Mac OS.

9 If you want the new style to appear in a style group you’ve created, drag it to the style group folder.
