Adding strokes and fills to tables
Table strokes and fills
You can add strokes and fills to your tables in a number of ways. Use the Table Options dialog box to change the
stroke of the table border, and to add alternating strokes and fills to columns and rows. To change the strokes and
fills of individual cells, use the Cell Options dialog box, or use the Swatches palette.
By default, the formatting you select using the Table Options dialog box overrides any corresponding formatting
previously applied to table cells. However, if you select the Preserve Local Formatting option in the Table Options
dialog box, the strokes and fills applied to individual cells are not overridden.
To change the appearance of the table border
1 With the insertion point in the table, choose Table > Table Options > Table Setup.
2 Under Table Border, specify the desired weight, type, color, tint, and gap settings.
3 Under Stroke Drawing Order, select the drawing order from the following options:
Best Joins If selected, row strokes will appear to the front at the points where strokes of different colors cross. In
addition, when strokes such as double lines cross, they are joined and the crossing points are connected.
Row Strokes in Front If selected, row strokes appear in front.
Column Strokes In Front If selected, column strokes appear in front.
InDesign 2.0 Compatibility If selected, row strokes appear in front. In addition, when strokes such as double lines
cross, they are joined and the crossing points are connected only at points where strokes cross in a T-shape.
4 If you do not want stroke formatting of individual cells to be overridden, select Preserve Local Formatting, and
then click OK.

stroke or fill.
