How do you have the bottom stroke of a table show up using Table Styles and Cell Styles only?

I am using InDesign CS6, and I want to create a Table Style that has the bottom stroke show up, but does not have a table border, such as:
However, whenever I try to change the Table or Cell strokes so that the last stroke shows up, I get the entire table border, or some strange combination of borders:
Does anyone have any insight on how I can get the bottom stroke to show up while preserving my other stroke properties? Since I work with long documents, it's necessary to be able to control all of my tables through Table Styles and Cell Styles, and not by manually changing each and every table with the Stroke palette.
For reference, here are the my current Table Style properties and the resulting table:

Michael Murphy is the InDesign style-meister. He wrote "Adobe InDesign Styles" for Adobe Press, and did a great Lynda.com title on InDesign styling. Here's what he says in the book:
"As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, with all the power of table and cell styles, it is important to understand not only how they work and what they can do for you, but also to understand their limitations.
"Two formatting features missing in table and cell styles have already been discussed: You will always have to set the column width and row height of cells when applying a table style for the first time, and you will always have to convert body rows to header and/or footer rows every time you apply a table style for first time or update the table's data....
"But there's another kind of limitation that's important to keep in mind as you are designing tables: It is very easy to design a table that cannot be completely defined by a table style. In many cases, you'll need to define an extra cell style or two that lets you complete for formatting. [my emphasis]."
So I think that's what you have to do: Apply another cell style on top of the cells at the bottom of the table after applying the table style.

    Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want.  iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.

    How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

    Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None.  You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct?  The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

    You run 'Csico Desktop Administrator' and change the settings under the 'default' workflow, or another workflow if you have some custom ones defined.

  • How can you have the app tabs positioned to the right of the FireFox button when maximized?

    App tabs are '''normally''' positioned to the right of the FireFox button. However, when you shrink the window and then maximize again the app tabs appear below the FireFox button.
    Anytime an app tab is open and you maximize, adjust window, maximize, the entire tab bar is bumped down under the FireFox button. Having just regular tabs open does not have this problem as they correctly position themselves to the right of the FireFox button when maximized.

    Zero is in the middle where it says "none".

  • How do you change the variable screen on Portal to show Key?

    Hi All,
    I have a report on our Portal.  In the variable screen, the users are asked to optionally enter Cost Centre.  When they choose to select values (pressing the button on the right) the singles values which are shown are 'Text' only.  I know in analyser, the user can switch by selecting the spanner icon - 'Display Key/Text'
    How do you change to Key within the variable screen on the portal?
    Many Thanks
    Michelle

    Thank you for your reply Amrita,
    The display in the query had been set to Text & Key as follows
    Properties of Cost Centre -> Display Tab -> Value Display Section -> Display As 'Text and Key', Text View 'Standard' and Use Characteristic Setting 'Unticked'
    Is there another section that I should be amending to ensure the 'Key' also appears in the variable screen?
    Many Thanks,
    Michelle

  • How do you get the mail sidebar to remain visible when mail is turned off and on?

    I am using OS X Yosemite on an iMac with Mail version 8.1.  How do I get the mail sidebar to remain open so I don't have to reopen it each time I open the mail app? 

    You are not saying which Pages you have on the iMac but I presume you Pages 5. To add a period you use the keyboards key for a period. A Mac is not an iPad. They behave differently. Autocaps doesn't exist in Pages 5 but did in Pages 09 and Pages 08.

    You need to upgrade your Mac OS to get it.

  • How do you remove the active stroke when on a layer/shape?

    Alright so a rather simple question but I can not seem to find the answer anywhere.
    I am trying to remove this black line (look at the picture)
    http://www.clicknhost.com/u/290412/cw6ka0xka.png
    It appears on active shapes and layers; it prevents me from seeing how my stroke is going to look, what my shadow looks like, messes with alighnment. I just want it gone. It was in Photoshop CS3, removed in Photoshop CS4 and 5 (5.5), but now it is back.
    Thanks,
    Tyler.

    Thanks mate. I was actually viewing the "view" tab in photoshop and was looking at the extras and I checked all that out and found that out right before you posted. Has to be the most annoying default setting, I find it hard anyone would find a use for it.
    Thanks again.

  • How can you have the "chat"  or "message" site on Facebook show both your end of the conversation , and the other persons as well without going back to "message to hear the other parties response?

    Does anyone know how to have both your message and the person you are messaging show up on Facebook as it does in chat. Chat does not work on my iPad as it does on the computer. I use "messages". But have to keep going back to messages to here the reply.

    It is my blog... maybe you'll find more info there. I'm a big fan of shapes in all their forms, and of advanced/shared actions.

  • How do you change the bottom state colors in CC?

    I am about to pull my hair out. I have been using Muse for 2 years and I guess there has been an update or bug. I added a horizontal nag bar, but I can't seem to find the menu or "pop up" box to change the colors of the menu states. I can't launch this site. I am in my master clicking on everything trying to get that box that allowed you to click on the state and bring up the color palate?
    Any takers?

    1. Choose a menu item.
    2. Select the different states in the left corner of the upper command strip or in the "states"-panel.
    3. Choose the fill color for every state in the upper command strip.
    You write "I have been using Muse for 2 years and I guess there has been an update". There have been many updates since in this 2 years. Zhe current version is "2014.2".

  • How do you have the help file .chm hold its window position when the user resizes the help window.

    One of my customers is complaining that the help contents will scroll out of view when the window is resized.  Is there a way to anchor the position while the window is resized?

    My CHM is a help file for an application. The application uses F1 to open specific topics for help.  Therefore the help file needs to be visible but not cover the application to much. The Content in this situation is text however the help project contains Images, tables, text, etc. 
    If the user searches for the word "audio" in the search and it takes them to a section or sub topic that is half way down in the Topic, they would like that section or subtopic to stay in the same place as they resize the help window.  Using Bookmarks if the topic is large enough clicking the search link will place the results in the top left of the doc view window, however this is not necessarily the top of the topic. 
    Im not sure how else to explain what the user is seeing, sorry.
    Please explain "Also whether it remains consistent depends on whether an absolute or percentage value has been added to it."
