This chapter explains how to use table styles to quickly and
consistently manage the appearance of tables.
The Numbers templates include a variety of table styles that are ready to use. You can
also modify the template styles or create your own styles.
Using Table Styles
You can use different visual characteristics to distinguish different tables in your
Numbers spreadsheet. For example, you can format a table containing inputs and
assumptions using a blue background and matching borders, and format another
table containing calculation results using a gray background and matching borders.
The simplest way to change the appearance of a table is to apply a table style to
it. Table styles also ensure that tables are consistently formatted. A table style is
predefined formatting that you can apply to a table with the click of a mouse. A table
style predefines the following attributes:
The table background (color or image) and its opacity
Â
The stroke, color, and opacity of the outside border of body cells, and the outside
Â
borders of the header row, header column, and footer row
The background (color or image and opacity) and the text attributes of table cells,
Â
including header and footer cells
