Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode, table style and cell style from the neatly formatted schedule table, then apply it to the second day's table with one click. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Like paragraph style for text, InDesign has cell style and table style for tables. Both ensure all tables in the document appear consistent.
Step 1: Example Table
Open the two-day schedule file. The first day's table is already neatly formatted, blue header with white text and alternating cream rows. The second day's table is still plain.
Step 2: Header Cell Style
Click on the header cell of the first table. Open the cell style panel from the window, style. Hold Alt and click create new style. Name it blue header. Cell style saves cell fill color, borders, inset, and paragraph style for header cells. Click on the content cell and create a second cell style named schedule content with paragraph style and 2 mm inset.
Step 3: Content Cell Style
These two cell styles become the basis for the table style.
Step 4: Table Style
Open the table style panel and create a new style named event schedule. In the general category, select header rows blue header and body rows schedule content. In the fill category, set alternating pattern every other row with cream color.
Step 5: Apply to the Second Table
Click on the second day's table then click event schedule in the table style panel. The plain table instantly appears identical to the first day's table, header, alternating colors, and text. Double-click the blue header cell style then change the fill color to orange.
Step 6: Change at Once
The headers in both tables change simultaneously. This is the benefit of styles, consistency, and quick changes.
Done!
Done. We have created cell styles for headers and body content. Creating a table style that uses both along with alternating fill. Applying it to another table, and changing all tables at once. In the next module, we discuss text wrap and grid layout. Need a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report design?
