Using table styles
|
You can define table styles in the Edit Styles dialog in the same way as you define styles for paragraphs and text. Applying a style to a table: #Click inside the table, select Properties in the Table tab and then select the style in the Table Style: field. Creating a table with a style: #Create a table with Table > Insert Table in the Write or Table tab and select the style in the Table Style: field when entering the table configuration settings. Any additional settings you enter in the Insert Table dialog will override the style settings for that table. |
