Table Styles

The Table Styles page allows you to create and manage reusable table templates for use inside the Text Library and the Editor.
Table Styles control the structure, layout, borders, and formatting of tables, ensuring a consistent appearance across all documents.

Table styles are especially useful for documents containing pricing tables, data grids, structured layouts, or multi-column content.

Purpose of Table Styles

Table Styles help you:

  • Maintain consistent table formatting
  • Predefine structure (rows, columns, header rows)
  • Control column widths and table width behavior
  • Apply consistent colors and borders
  • Standardize header and body text formatting
  • Save time when creating tables in text elements

Table Configuration

Rows and Columns

Set the number of default rows and columns for the table structure.

Choose whether the table includes a header row:

  • Yes – Header row included
  • No – No header row

Table Width

Specify the table’s width and choose the unit:

  • mm

Column Widths

Choose how column widths behave:

  • Fixed Width – Columns have exact measurements

Style Settings

Background Colors

Define default background colors for:

  • Header Background
  • Row Background
  • Border Color

Colors may be chosen through the color picker or hex values.

Cell Borders

Set border rules for header and body cells.
Click on the preview cells to apply or remove borders on each side.

Text Styles

Header Text Style

Controls how text in the header row appears:

  • Text color
  • Font size
  • Font weight (Bold, Normal, etc.)

Body (Cell) Text Style

Controls text formatting inside standard table cells:

  • Text color
  • Font size
  • Font weight

These settings ensure consistency between documents.

Editing a Table Style

To modify an existing table style:

  1. Click the Edit icon
  2. Update any configuration fields
  3. Save the updated style

Changes affect new tables created with this style but do not modify existing tables already placed in documents.

Deleting a Table Style

Deleting a table style:

  • Removes it from the selectable list
  • Does not alter existing tables already created

Use deletion carefully to avoid breaking established visual standards.

Best Practices

  • Use meaningful names like “3-Column Data Table” or “Invoice Price Table”
  • Keep header styling distinct to improve readability
  • Use consistent border styling across all table styles
  • Test new table styles with real content before finalizing
