There doesn't seem to be an option to remove table formatting (background and text colours etc) from tables that have been copied from webpages and pasted in to Confluence pages.
The 'Clear Formatting' option in the top editing toolbar doesn't work on tables - it is unavailable (dimmed out) when in a table.
Also:
Inserting a table in a Confluence page via /table
No formatting options apart from header row / column row shading, bold text and changing text colour
Copy and paste a table from a webpage
the table comes in complete with all formatting whether it is wanted or not.
There are no options in Confluence to remove any formatting e.g. background colours etc.
Copy and paste a table from Microsoft Excel
No formatting options are carried over
It would be good if either
- more table formatting options were available in Confluence.
- Or if formatting in Excel tables could be carried over, as they are with tables copied from web pages.
As a workaround to my post above (Custom Template Snippets) I have several tables set up on an Excel worksheet for pasting into Confluence pages as 'custom snippets) - a tad disappointed when the formatting wasn't copied over.
Thank you.
