Table/Cell Styles panels overview

Use the Table Styles panel 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 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 > Type & Tables, 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.
