Table Settings Style Editor

The Tables are designed to look aesthetically pleasing without having to alter the settings within the style editor. The user has the option to edit tables as there are numerous styles and settings to choose from.

Some of the settings below only take effect if the correct element has been initially set in the Table Tool configurations, such as with Borders and Column Headers.

Data Tab

Data Font: Changes the font for all the data inside the table, excluding headers. The default is Arial.

Font Size: Adjusts the size of the Font by points. The default is 8.

Text Color: Changes the color of the text for all the data. The default is black.

Background Color: Changes the color of the background of the table. The default is white.

Alternate Color: Changes the color of the background of the table for alternating rows. The default is light gray.

Rows Per Group: Specify the number of rows per each color group.  For example if Row Per Group is set to 2, there will be two rows of white and then two rows of gray. The default is 1.

Header Tab

Header Font: Changes the font for the header of the table.  The default is Arial.

Font Size: Adjusts the size of the Font by points. The default is 10.

Borders Tab

The column settings below will only take effect if Column borders are set in the Table Tool configuration window. By default, column borders are set to none. Column borders need not be set to edit row datasettings.

Border width may look wider if the Table Tool configuration is configured so each column has both borders.

  • Default (Use Per Column Setting): Each column must be set up to display borders from the Table Tool configuration.
  • All Columns (Override Per Column Setting): Borders will appear on all columns. Any specific column borders set up from the Table tool configuration will be ignored.
