How do we format table cells?

Efleda Brophy

I wanted to use a smaller font for table cells, and because we are not able to change font size, I used the Heading 6 format for all the cells. I wanted the contents even smaller than the Heading 6 font, so I used the Superscript option. Most of the cells are blank but I copied / pasted the Heading 6 + Superscript formats. The formatting seemed to take, but when I published the document and I checked back on several cells, the formats I copied/pasted were not saved. They all reverted back to Normal Text format. Is there a way to set cell formats in a table, so when users go in and add information, they don't have to figure out what formats to use because table formats are set?

As an admin you can add you own css and specify which font to use in tables. But this affects all tables in your installation. With a more complex approach you can try to write a custom macro as wrapper around your tables. So you can format some tables differently. But that is in my opinion too much error prone and too much customizing. Keep in mind that all changes in configuration and all custom macros need to work after the next update. And the next. And the next.
