Problem
Symptoms: How do you change an attribute in a table? Solutions: You can change attributes in a column, row, or block. If you change these attributes through the Table Edit screen, the codes will not appear in Reveal Codes. You can also change attributes the regular way on the WP 5.1 document screen and these will show in Reveal Codes. Codes placed in the cell from document screen should override any conflicting formatting that may have been placed in the Table Edit screen. Question: After setting a table column/cell attribute (e.g., bold) how do you turn it off if you change your mind? Answer: If the code was placed in the Table Edit screen then it must be changed in the Table Edit menu and toggled off. If the code was placed in the document screen then the code can be seen and deleted in Reveal Codes. Question: Can I change to a specific font within a table? How? Answer: Yes. How did you change fonts in columns? Font key, Base Font, now select the font. From that point to the rest of the cell and the cells to the right of that point and down the font will be changed until you select another font. Question: Which formatting codes take precedence over the other formatting codes? Answer: 1. Text screen. 2. Table edit cell. 3. Table edit column. Codes entered from the document screen will override codes entered from a Table Edit Screen. Cell codes override column codes. Question: If a cell is joined, will the attributes be lost? Answer: Yes. The attribute of the farthest left cell will be given to the new joined cell. Question: How are the attributes of the column/cell displayed when the column/cell had its attributes set in the Table Edit Menu? Answer: The attributes of the column/cell are displayed via the position number on the status line. If there is a formula, that will show in the lower left corner of the screen as will the align character (prior to a period) if applicable. Other than that there is no other way. Question: Can you see all the attributes on the screen without viewing it? Answer: Yes and no. If your screen shows all the combinations of attributes distinctly then sure. But the monochrome monitor has its limits. Right, center, or left justification are not shown except visually. Bold will be bold, underline, will usually be underline. The other depends on the monitor. If the attribute was set in Table Edit mode, it can't be seen in the document screen, (give up trying to find it in Reveal Codes). You will have to print or view. This could be a potential problem. Question: Can you specify shading in a table? Answer: Shading could theoretically be turned on or off in each cell. The shading is found in Lines in the Table Edit menu. Default for the darkness of shading may be found in Options. |
