Table styles control the appearance of a table and all of the cells contained in
the table, but you can override the style of individual cells. The Cell and
Contents sections of the Properties Inspector are used to control the border
styles, text formatting, and the size of the cells.
The border properties in a table’s cell style control the display of the gridlines
that divide the table into cells. The borders of the title row, the column heads
row, and the data rows can have different lineweight and color and can be
displayed or not displayed.
The appearance of text in the cells of the table is controlled by the text style
that is specified in the current cell style. You can use any text style in the
drawing or create a new one. The type of data you display in a row and the
formatting for that data type is controlled by the formatting options you select
in the Table Cell Format dialog box.
