Custom Table Auto Format not working properly - bold headings.
Hi everybody,
I've created an Auto Format style for a table an am using it to format existing tables. The trouble is that there is always one or two settings that will not get applied to the table - for example, if the header row is supposed to be bold and shaded, it will come up only shaded, but not bold. Or this will work and cell alignment is not going to be coorectly applied across the table. I've obviously tried replying the style couple of times (like if you have to apply style twice to a paragraph if you have two different styles within it), but to no avail. I've checked all my settings and made sure my style is defined coorectly. This problem happens with other styles as well. It's almost like some of the settings worked as switches - if the first row was bold before the change, and the style makes it bold it will become normal, if it was normal it will become bold. If I undefine bold, then it keeps the setting. Very strange and frustrating. The version 2003, no sp or updates. Second of the problems is the alignment which i can't get to work at all in some cases. Thanks for reading this. Regards, R. |

was bold before the change, and the style makes it bold it will become normal, if it was normal it will become bold. If I undefine bold, then it keeps the setting. Very strange and frustrating. The version 2003, no sp or updates. This is the way Word works. Somethings, such as italics and bold ARE toggle settings (bold + bold = not-bold). When working with Table Styles it's practically a must to start with NO formatting applied to the text in the table. Select the entire table, press Ctrl+Spacebar, Ctrl+Q, then apply the Normal style. Then apply your table style. Second of the problems is the alignment which i can't get to work at all in some cases. You need to be more specific about what kinds of problems you're seeing. But first see if the above steps help at all, as paragraph alignment may be conflicting with your table style.
