Paste Table Formats
Hi,
I made some settings to a Word table: background color (Shading.BackgroundPatternColor), borders (Borders.LineStyle /.LineWidth), etc. After that, I have tried to paste the formats to a second table using the FormatPainter. Unfortunately, the mentioned format settings werde not pasted while other settings (e.g. alignment, font) where pasted correctly. Does anybody know how I can paste the mentioned formats to another table? Thanks in advance & best regards Christian |

Paste Table Formats
This would be a reasonable use of a table style.

Paste Table Formats
Hi Suzanne,
thanks a lot for that great hint. I didn't know about table styles before. They work fine except one problem: Sometimes, I have more than one heading row or colunm and I didn't find a way to extend the format form the first heading row or column to a 2nd, 3rd, etc. Is there a way to "tell" the table style, how many heading rows and colums the table contains? Or can I flag rows or columns as headers? Regards Christian "Suzanne S. Barnhill" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... This would be a reasonable use of a table style. -- Suzanne S.

Paste Table Formats
I really have no experience or expertise with table styles (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html for some reasons many people avoid them), but it would appear that if you want more than one heading row, you'll have to format them manually. Tagging an extra row as a heading doesn't seem to change the formatting. -- Suzanne S.

Paste Table Formats
I tagged the second row of my test table as heading row. After that,
the row actually inherited the "Header row" format. But this does not work with heading columns because there is no way to tag a column as a heading. I afraid this means that table styles will not solve my problem. Any other ideas that could help me solve my problem? Regards Christian "Stefan Blom" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

I'm interested in that because I found that when I tagged the second row of

Maybe it depends on the version. I am using Office 2003 SP2.

Paste Table Formats
I tried this before, and it didn't appear to work. I created a table,
formatted the first two rows as heading rows, and then applied a Table AutoFormat that included special formatting for the heading row. Only the first row got the formatting. I then selected the second row to see if it was still formatted as a heading row and found Table | Heading Rows Repeat dimmed. Moreover, it is not checked for the first row, either. What?! Apparently applying the AutoFormat removes user-applied heading formatting and just formats the top row as a heading row (with no guarantee that it will repeat). When I reselected the two top rows and rechecked Heading Rows Repeat, the heading row formatting *was* applied to both. What I hadn't counted on was that applying the AutoFormat would wipe out my specific settings. -- Suzanne S.
