Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode, a schedule table with colored header rows and automatically alternating row colors that guide the reader's eye. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Long tables need visual markers to prevent the eyes from getting lost. Strong headers and alternating row colors are two of the most effective techniques.

Step 1: Selecting the header row

Open the seminar schedule file. Position the cursor on the left edge of the first row until the arrow appears, then click to select the header row. Click Ocean Blue.

Step 2: Header color

The header row is now blue. Then, with the row still selected, apply the paragraph style for the header row containing bold white text, so the header text is white and stands out.

Step 3: Alternating Fills

Click anywhere in the cell, then open the table, table options, alternating fill. In the alternating pattern, select every other row, meaning the color alternates with each row.

Step 4: Alternating colors

Set the first row with cream color and tin 100%, and the next row with color none. Check preview, the row fill alternates between cream and white, while the header remains blue. The skip first and skip less options exclude certain rows from the pattern, for example, the total row below the table.

Step 5: Skip rows

For this schedule, we leave it at 0, then click OK.

Step 6: Final result

View the table in preview mode. Blue header with white text directly shows the column names, and alternating colors make each row of the schedule easy to follow from left to right. Done.

Done!

We have formatted the header row with color and white text, created alternating fill for the row colors, and understood the pattern and skip rows. In the next episode, we create a long table that continues to the next page with repeating headers.
