Defining Attributes for Tables
You can design the default table the way you like it, setting the number of rows and
columns, line styles and colors, text styles, shadows, and so on.
To set default table attributes:
1 Place a table on the page.
2 Select the table and set its attributes. To read about placing and formatting tables, see
Chapter 8, “Creating Tables.”
3 Set text wrapping around the table.
4 Choose Format > Advanced > Define Default Table Style.
5 Delete the table from the page.
Note: A table consists of distinct formatting areas, including the header row, header
column, inside borders, and outside borders. To set default table attributes, you must
apply each attribute to an entire formatting area. For example, if you change the
formatting of one cell in a header row, the change will not be saved as part of the
default table style; you need to change the formatting of all the cells in the header
row.
Setting Default Chart Styles
For charts, you can set the default chart type—the type of chart that appears when
you choose Insert > Chart—and also the default look of each chart type. Default
attributes must be set individually for each chart type.
To set default chart styles and placement:
1 Place a chart on the page.
2 Select the chart and set its attributes. (To read about placing and formatting charts,
see Chapter 9, “Creating Charts.”)
3 Set the text wrapping around the charts.
4 After you have formatted and positioned all the charts, select each of them, one at a
time, and choose Format > Advanced > Define Default Style for [chart type] Chart.
5 Select the chart type that you want to be the default (the one that first appears when
you choose Insert > Chart), and choose Format > Advanced > Make [chart type] the
Default Chart Type.
6 Delete the charts from the page.
