Problems applying table styles

I created a table style. I was under the impression that I could click on any existing table with random formatting, and the new styles would be applied. This is not the case. On some tables they are only partially applied, e.g. fills and strokes.
Any idea what's happening here?
Thanks,

Here's a screen grab which shows the cell styles also greyed out. Does this help?

  • Why doesnt applies table style?

    Give, pls a hint (again ;))
    I plan to format table entirely (table style, all cells style, para body style, para header style and cell header style)
    I stared with:
    Set MyInd = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS3")
    Set myDoc = MyInd.ActiveDocument
    Set myPage = myDoc.Pages.Item(1)
    MyInd.Paste '(get clipboard from word-table)
    Set myStory = myDoc.Stories.Item(1)
    Set myParagraph = myStory.Paragraphs.Item(1)
    Set myTable = myParagraph.Tables.Item(1)
    On Error Resume Next 'for debugging purpose
    myTable.Rows.Item(1).RowType = idRowTypes.idHeaderRow
    On Error GoTo 0
    'myTable.AppliedTableStyle = "Table Style Body"

    'myTable.AppliedCellStyle = "Table Style Body" '''the same
    myTable.ApplyStyle "Table Style Body", True
    i override, but "OBJECT DOESNT support!"
    myTable.ApplyStyle "Cell Style Body", True 'the same
    How to apply table style to whole table? (how to script correctly?)
    Thanks

    Yes.
    I wrote like this:
    kk = myTable.Columns.Count
    With myTable
    Call .Cells.ItemByRange(.Cells.Item(1), .Cells.Item(-1)).Item(-1).ClearCellStyleOverrides
    Call .ClearTableStyleOverrides
    Set mySel = .Cells.ItemByRange(.Cells.Item(1), .Cells.Item(-1)).Item(-1) 'for all table
    Set mySelH = .Cells.ItemByRange(.Cells.Item(1), .Cells.Item(kk)).Item(-1) 'for only header
    End With
    myTable.AppliedTableStyle = "Table Style Body"
    mySel.AppliedCellStyle = "Cell Style Body"
    mySelH.AppliedCellStyle.AppliedParagraphStyle = "Table body"
    mySelH.AppliedCellStyle = "Cell Style Head"
    mySelH.AppliedCellStyle.AppliedParagraphStyle = "Table Head"
    So we can apply parastyles only for object "cell", not for "table"?
    So we must have specified range of cells for working with?
    Thanks.

  • Problem applying Paragraph styles in CS4 InDesign

    I boughtCS4 InDesign for Windows perhaps six months ago, and it worked fine with Windows XP. I have recently installed Windows 7 and find that the paragraph styles won't always work. Of ten when I try to use the shortcut for paragraph style the paragraph in question turns pink with small squares in it. If I undo the application of paragraph styles it goes back to text. I am using Times New Roman as the major font. However, I have tried other fonts and they won't work in paragraph style either.
    I tried changing several pages of the manuscript to Times New Roman Special G1, but it won't do the commas, quotes, etc. (special characters).
    Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix this mess?
    Thanks for any help.
    Earl Davis

    Well, here's the situation now. But before describing it, let me thank Peter
    Spier and Bob Levine who have endeavored to help me. Now, here's where we
    are:
    I copied a document over from Pagemaker into InDesign using Times New Roman
    font. (I did the same for two other book manuscripts this past summer,
    shortly after purchasing InDesign and had no problem). Suddenly a couple
    weeks ago I found that the shortcut I set for the paragraph styles did not
    format the paragraphs, etc., but rather turned the paragraph in which I
    placed the cursor into a series of pink squares highlighted in pink. I have
    tried the suggestions you fellows have given, such as copying the fonts
    presently in the Windows Font Directory into the Adobe/InDesign/Fonts
    directory, and then right-clicking on them and installing them. By the way,
    the InDesign font directory only had the Times New Roman and Times New Roman
    Special 1 and Renaissance font in it, until I copied all my fonts there and
    installed them. Another oddity, I make the first letter of the first
    paragraph of each chapter a decorative Renaissance font, spanning two lines.
    I now find that when I do that, I may get a black square, which may turn
    into the correct font after I adjust the size to two lines.
       But on the general problem, I have tried changing the font in the
    paragraph styles to Amerigo BT, and I sometimes get the shortcut to work,
    and sometimes it still turns it into Times New Roman Special or black
    squares. Also, I have opened a new file and put another copy of the text in
    it, setting up the paragraph styles, etc. and still have the same problem.
       So I'm at a loss what to do.  I do think it's possible I am doing
    something wrong with fonts or setting up the paragraph styles, but I don't
    see any errors there. All my computer fonts show up in the fonts panel of
    the document.  Any more ideas?

  • A script to apply cell style to entire rows containing a specific text

    Hi,
    I am using InDesign CC 2014
    Does anyone know how to apply a cellstyle based on text contents found in a cell in javascript?
    I need to search the document and change cell style in entire row to "cellStyle01" if the text "someText" appear in cell.
    I've found similar script here in forum which apply table style, but don't know how to change it to apply cell style!
    var curDoc = app.activeDocument;

  • Problem with footer in table style not applying paragraph style... or just me?

    I'm having a niggling problem making a table style with cell/paragraph styles for the header, body, and footer respectively. I want to make it as simple as possible for other users but one thing keeps tripping me up. I'll try and describe with screenshots. I'm using InDesign CS5 on Windows 7.
    I have a table style set up with cell styles for the header, body, and footer, and paragraph styles for each as well. Say I'm converting a list of generic text to this table:
    i convert it to my table style. The body style is a numbered list:
    I convert the header to an, err, Header. The cell applies the header paragraph style as I should expect:
    I convert the footer likewise, but it maintains the Body text paragraph style as an override!
    So naturally I clear the override and it works fine. But of course, I'd rather it acted like the header row. I can't work out where the override on the footer comes from and why it operates differently in this respect to the header row. There is nothing different about how the styles are constructed. Have I made a mistake somewhere, or is this correct behaviour I'm misinterpreting, or something...?

  • Problems with vertical cell borders and the default table style

    When laying out tables in Word, I like to use thin horizontal lines (cell borders) and thick-ish white vertical lines. The vertical white cell borders create a subtle negative space that is less cluttered than the typical boxed-in-all-sides style.
    Issue 1.
    In Pages, horizontal cell borders seem to take precedence over vertical cell borders so my vertical white line trick doesn't work. Is there a way to force my vertical white cell borders to "show up" over my think black horizontal cell borders?
    Issue 2.
    So, for the time being, I'm not using vertical white cell borders in tables; instead, I set the vertical cell borders to "none." Unfortunately, when I try to set the default table style using a table with no vertical cell borders, Pages adds the vertical cell borders anyway. Does anyone know a way to get Pages to surrender?

    I checked and here, aftere defining a new default format with vertical lines set to none, this format is used when I cvreate a new table.
    But the same with horizontal lines doesn't apply.

  • Having problem with applying layer style "stroke" to group

    - Windows 8.1 / 64bit
    - i3-4150 / 4GB / Geforce GTX 750 TI
    - Photoshop CC 2014
    Hi!
    I don't know why, but there is some problem that applying layer style "stroke" to group.
    When i make a group with some layer and apply to group a layer style-stroke with inside option,
    the strokes looks like grid are generated inside.
    Why i said that stroke cross to ㅎrid, because it looks like grid if i make that group bigger.
    (that black square is 'Rectangle 1' layer. Just resizing bigger than before)
    Does anyone have same problem with me?
    Please, I need your help..

    That's interesting. And this is happening with CC and CC 2014?  Do you have all the updates for the Photoshop CC versions?
    I've just tried to duplicate it without success, (windows 7, GTX570) so I wonder if there is a condition that triggers it?  Unfortunately, with this being such an old thread, the only person still around is R Kelly.
    OK, I just thought to try it on my Cintiq Companion 2, which has Windows 8.1 and Intel 5100, and the bug occurred. I actually got as far as firing up my Win 8.1 laptop before remembering that I had to sign out of CC to put it on my Cintiq, so I only have CS6 on it.
    Anyway....  looks like the bug is still there.  Are you using Win 8.1?

  • Apply MS Style to a table

    Hi.
    I currently coding on a template which use openXML. I create some tables and I would like apply to them a MS style. I saw in style.xml some values about those default style but when I try to apply it to my tables it doesn't work.
    Specifically, I would like apply the "Medium Grid 1 Accent 1" to my tables.
    Here my code :
    //init code
    vTable = new Table();
    vProps = new TableProperties();
    vTable.AppendChild<TableProperties>(vProps);
    ApplyMsStyleToTable(vTable, -1, "Medium Grid 1 Accent 1");
    //fill table
    private static void ApplyMsStyleToTable(Table pTable, int pIndex, string pStyleMS)
    try
    TableProperties vTblPr = pTable.Descendants<TableProperties>().FirstOrDefault();
    if(pIndex < 0)
    vTblPr.AppendChild<TableStyle>(new TableStyle {Val = pStyleMS});
    else
    vTblPr.InsertAt(new TableStyle { Val = pStyleMS }, pIndex);
    catch (Exception)
    throw;
    So, can I use MS default style or I must made it by myself ? If I must made it, where can I find all informations to create the exact same style ?
    I have another question about this, if I can use MS default style, does the needed string must be in the current word language ? I want to say, if my word is in another language than english does the "Medium Grid 1 Accent 1"
    string works in a French or Korean word  ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    EDIT : I'm using word 2007
    PS : sorry for my bad english ;).

    Hi Bloopis,
    >>So, can I use MS default style or I must made it by myself ? If I must made it, where can I find all informations to create the exact same style ?
    In my option, you can use MS default style, and you do not need to make it by yourself.
    >>I create some tables and I would like apply to them a MS style. I saw in style.xml some values about those default style but when I try to apply it to my tables it doesn't work.
    I made a simple demo with your code, and I think there are two issues for this situation. First, you defined one table, but you did not add any row and column. Second, I think you need to use the "MediumGrid1-Accent1" instead of "Medium Grid
    1 Accent 1". Some key code like below:
    private void Form0410_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    InsertTableInDocWithNoPro(@"D:\OfficeDev\OpenXML\Test.docx");
    using (WordprocessingDocument wordprocessingDocument =
    WordprocessingDocument.Open(@"D:\OfficeDev\OpenXML\Test.docx", true))
    Table vTable = new Table();
    Body body = wordprocessingDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body;
    vTable = wordprocessingDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Elements<Table>().Last();
    ApplyMsStyleToTable(vTable, -1, "MediumGrid1-Accent1");
    public static void InsertTableInDoc(string filepath)
    // Open a WordprocessingDocument for editing using the filepath.
    using (WordprocessingDocument wordprocessingDocument =
    WordprocessingDocument.Open(filepath, true))
    // Assign a reference to the existing document body.
    Body body = wordprocessingDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body;
    // Create a table.
    Table tbl = new Table();
    // Set the style and width for the table.
    TableProperties tableProp = new TableProperties();
    TableStyle tableStyle = new TableStyle() { Val = "GridTable1Light" };
    // Make the table width 100% of the page width.
    TableWidth tableWidth = new TableWidth() { Width = "5000", Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Pct };
    // Apply
    tableProp.Append(tableStyle, tableWidth);
    tbl.AppendChild(tableProp);
    // Add 3 columns to the table.
    TableGrid tg = new TableGrid(new GridColumn(), new GridColumn(), new GridColumn());
    tbl.AppendChild(tg);
    // Create 1 row to the table.
    TableRow tr1 = new TableRow();
    // Add a cell to each column in the row.
    TableCell tc1 = new TableCell(new Paragraph(new Run(new Text("1"))));
    TableCell tc2 = new TableCell(new Paragraph(new Run(new Text("2"))));
    TableCell tc3 = new TableCell(new Paragraph(new Run(new Text("3"))));
    tr1.Append(tc1, tc2, tc3);
    // Add row to the table.
    tbl.AppendChild(tr1);
    // Add the table to the document
    body.AppendChild(tbl);
    For information about creating table with row and column, you could refer the link below:
    #Working with WordprocessingML tables (Open XML SDK)
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg278313.aspx
    For using the "MediumGrid1-Accent1" instead of "Medium Grid 1 Accent 1". I have tried to find a document to prove it, but I failed. In my option, the "MediumGrid1-Accent1" is the StyleId of the "Medium Grid 1 Accent 1".
    For how to find the StyleId, I will recommend you apply the table style in a table manually, then use OpenXML productivity Tools to reflect the code to see the StyleId, the picture below shows more details:
    >> if I can use MS default style, does the needed string must be in the current word language ? I want to say, if my word is in another language than english does the "Medium Grid 1 Accent 1" string works in a French or Korean word 
    In my option, the StyleId worked in another language. I only have the English version. I think you could use OpenXML productivity Tools to reflect code in other language to check it.

  • FIND/CHANGE - Applying Paragraph Style

    Hello,
    I used FIND/CHANGE to apply my paragraph style and when I apply the paragraph style... it applies the style to the entire line.
    For example,
    A. #70712       resulted to         A. #70712
    I only wanted the "#70712" to be changed to my style. I used the GREP search and entered #.+ and then I choose the paragraph style I want and clicked change all. The problem is that it changed all the text on that line and applied the paragraph style.
    Please help. Thank you very much.

    If I understand your request correctly:
    If your paragraph style uses a numbered list to create the "A." and the remainder of the paragraph consists of only "# 70712" that you type in manually (or place from an existing file), I believe that you you don't need GREP. You can format the auto-numbered list differently from the remainder of its paragraph, by specifying a character style for the number portion.
    To extract only the non-numbered portion of an auto-numbered paragraph, for a TOC, in the Table of Contents dialog box, open the bottom part by clicking More Options if necessary, and in the Numbered Paragraphs pull-down menu, select Exclude Numbers.
    Read more about Table of Contents in Help, and/or with a Google search for terms like "InDesign table of contents numbered list exclude numbers" without quotes.
    If you need additional special formatting "tricks" in the source paragraphs, or in the TOC entry paragraphs, look into Nested Styles and GREP
    Styles in Help or Google searches.

  • InDesign CS3 crashing adding table style...HELP!!

    This issue started on Friday.  I just starting working on a large document that will have many tables throughout, so I must use the table styles.  Here is the order in which I do things to get the crash.
    Place document from Word in to InDesign document
    Highlight table to be changed
    Convert text using paragraph styles
    Alter column widths to fit page
    Highlight entire table to select table style
    Click desired table style
    CRASH!!!!
    I have tried the following things with NO LUCK:
    Deleted adobefntX file multiple times (actually worked for a couple of hours first time I did it)
    Deleted InDesign preferences (did nothing)
    Re-created all "Styles" in InDesign (Character, Paragraph, Cell, & Table) (Did nothing)
    Changed the order in which I altered the tables text and formatting (thinking it was just a silly order problem)
    Unistalled and Re-installed CS3 (worked for 5 tables and then CRASH)
    Updated ALL software (Adobe and Mac)
    Started up in Safe mode and CRASH!!!
    I realize from seraching for this problem on the web that I am probably the ONLY person having this issue, but I thought it was a font problem until I started in Safe Mode and still crashed.  I am totally confused as to what I should do next.  I am running on a

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I am not familiar with InDesign Interchange, do you think this will help?
    That's why I suggested it. But you didn't answer my question: Is this happening with only one file? The reason I ask is because if one file is corrupted, saving to INX and back to INDD often clears out minor corruptions. If you're seeing this in many files it's unlikely they're all corrupt.
    1. Convert text using paragraph styles - I meant modified "placed" text using character styles
    Now I'm really confused. Your steps are:
    Place document from Word in to InDesign document
    Highlight table to be changed
    Modify placed text using character styles
    Are you really highlighting an entire table and applying a character style? While this will work to modify certain formatting aspects, it's not really the best approach. Character styles are for characters *within* a paragraph. Paragraph styles are for *entire* paragraphs. Each table cell contains at least one full paragraph, even if it's just a single number, a space, even if there's nothing there at all. If you want to format the contents of an entire cell or range of cells with the same formatting, use a paragraph style, not a character style. If you want to italicize one or two words in some text in a cell (the way I just did), then use a character style.
    I really feel that the issue either stems from fonts or from placing the document from Word.
    Could be. Cheap fonts are the cause of many problems in Indesign. Indesign is really picky about fonts. But let's try the easy fix first (INX). If you don't trust it, save the .inx to a new .indd filename (keep your old .indd file as a backup).

  • Separate table title autonumbering for two named table styles?

    I believe this very same question whizzed by a few weeks ago but I'm having no luck searching for it.
    I have two named table styles.  I want the autonumbering for the table titles to be separate.  More specifically, one will autonumber as "Table t", while the other will autonumber as "Example e".
    I have redefined the autonumbering counter for the second of the two TableTitle para style, and if I apply that style while in that table's title, I get the new autonumbering.  But I can't transmit (a) selectively update the Table Title style to this format to other tables in the chapter.  By extension, I can't copy the  wonderful new table format to other chapters in the book.
    I next tried creating a new para style "ExampleTitle", then in the Table Designer trying Update All.  Nope, other tables of type example do not receive the new title style.
    This is fully-patched FM8.  The document is structured but I don't (want to) care about that -- I simply need to get the two different named table styles
    to autonumber sequentially.
    This is probably pretty easy once I learn the "trick"...(?)
    Cheers & thanks,
    Riley

    Arnis:
    Thanks.  For some reason I couldn't get my table to update, so I went through and manually create a second table title paragraph style, then manually applied that.  (I also created a second x-ref format so that I could x-ref to "Example n:" without including the colon in the x-ref, but that's another story...)
    So for now I've worked around the problem.  After I get this document out I'll revisit the issue.  (Why do I have a vague recollection that there's a known idiosyncracy where FM6+ table styles don't update properly...?)
    Cheers & thanks 'gain,
    Riley

  • Problems with tables in InDesign CS4

    Since recently upgrading to CS4, I’ve been having issues with editing strokes in tables. The problem occurs after working on a table for a while-- where at first I’m able to edit stroke color and weight fine, but then after a period of time it becomes buggy and I’m no longer able to make further edits to the column/row strokes, such as not being able to set the stroke color to none. The only partial work around I’ve found is to quit InDesign and re-launch, then reopen the document, at which point I can then edit the table strokes—but only for awhile until the problem begins again and I have to repeat the process of quitting and restarting. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and might know of a fix (or better work around), or if it’s a known bug in CS4. I never remember this happening with table editing in CS3. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I'm not fond of tables. Never been able to make table styles work correctly.
    My method for dealing with strokes is to selct the cell(s) and use the proxy in the control panel to set the stroke or strokes I want to edit, then change the attirbutes. I find sometimes I need to change the weight, other times the stroke type or even sometimes both. If you've applied a troke to one cell that is shared with another, then go to the other cell, I find you have to explicitly choose that stroke again to modify it.

  • Table Styles - Automatic Format Header (only)

    Hi,

    XX
    XX
    XX
    Example 2
    XX

    Left Column - (Example 1, 2, 3) Left aligned Arial Regular 10pt
    Body - (XX) Centre aligned Arial Regular 10pt
    These are linked to Cell Styles in their appropriate places
    The Left Column is automatically applied, as is the Body Rows. The problem is that I have to tell the Header to apply the Header Cell Style
    Is this possible to automate?
    Thanks,

    If the table was originally a Word doc, the Word table can be set to be a header in Word. This could be honored as it places into the InDesign file.
    If the table was originally an Excel file, the Excel file does not have the ability to nominate the top row as header in advance of placing it into InDesign. This creates a manual moment.
    Too bad you cannot set the header in the Show Import Options as you place it! This means you are often stopping to manually adjust/nominate the header row manually.
    More pain: if you refresh the link to the Excel spreadsheet, you have to reset the header row manually again.
    Maybe you can throw a script at it:

  • Alternating strokes in a table style

    I'm setting up a table style like the following:
    |--------||---------|------------|
    |--------||---------|------------|
    |--------||---------|------------|
    |--------||---------|------------|
    |--------||---------|------------|
    |--------||---------|------------|
    The table has two heading rows. The vertical column strokes are set up to alternate 3 pt and 1 pt strokes. I created a heading row cell style. The problem is that the heading rows don't have the alternating strokes. Is there a way to have alternating heavy and light column strokes for the table style and have them apply to the heading cells as well as the body cell?

    Create 2 css classes that represent you're alternating row
    colors and use this UDF and it will adapt to missing rows from the
    query.
    <style>
    .ResultSetA {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;}
    .ResultSetB {
    background-color: #D7DBFF;}
    </style>
    used like : <tr
    class="#alternateRow('ResultSetB,ResultSetA')#">
    // alternateRow(styleList[,clear])
    // @styleList (list - classes to cycle through)
    // @clear (string - anything)
    // returns a CSS class
    // Example #alternateRow('ResultSetA,ResultSetB')#
    function alternateRow(styleList)
    var class = "";
    if (not isDefined("styleNumber") OR arraylen(arguments) GT
    1) {
    styleNumber = 1;
    class = listGetAt(styleList,styleNumber);
    if (styleNumber EQ listLen(styleList)) {
    styleNumber = 1;
    } else {
    styleNumber = styleNumber + 1;
    return class;
    }

  • Table style & IDML

    I am not sure which is the right forum for IDML question. Anyway, I have a number of tables with the same table style applied. Then I select one of these tables and change status of Table/Table options/Headers and footers/Skip first header. Now, when I select Table Styles/Redefine Style the "Skip first header" status change I made will affect all tables with this style applied. However I have not found the way to set this "Skip first header" status in IDML table style attributes. Should there be a way?

    I really do not know what has caused this but in your situation I would be looking at the CSS for the table now and when it worked.
    After that I would probably create a new project and create the same setup afresh. That can often identify the cause of problems like this.
    Sorry I don't have anything more constructive.
