TOPIC APPEARS IN:

Base one table or cell style on another

You can create links between similar table or cell styles by creating a base, or parent, style. When you edit the parent style, any changed attribute that appears in the child styles will change as well. By default, table styles are based on [No Table Style], and cell styles are based on [None].

  1. Create a new style.
  2. In the New Table Style or New Cell Style dialog box, select the parent style in the Based On menu. The new style becomes the child style.
  3. Specify formatting for the new style to distinguish it from the parent style.
