The appearance of the table is controlled by its table style. You can use the
default table style, STANDARD, or a custom table style saved in the drawing.
NOTE AutoCAD 2011 for Mac does not support the ability to create or modify
table and cell styles. You can edit the properties of a table and individual cells
using the Properties Inspector.
When you select a table, you can change the appearance of the a table under
the Table and Table Breaks sections of the Properties Inspector and Table visor.
To display all of the table properties in the Properties Inspector, click All below
the Object drop-down list. If you have a table style saved in your drawing,
you can assign it to the table using the Table Style property under the Table
section.
