To customize the look of a table, place the cursor anywhere in a table and invoke the
Table Properties (Ctrl T (Command T on OS
X)) action from the
Table submenu of the contextual menu or DITA
menu (or from the toolbar).
The Table properties dialog box allows you
to set specific properties to the table elements.
Note: Depending on the context, some options
or values are filtered out.
Note: If you want to remove a property, set its value to
<not set>.
Note: Choose the
<preserve> setting to:
- Keep the current non-standard value for a particular property.
- Keep the values already set. This happens when you select multiple elements having the same property set to different values.
For a CALS table you can format any of the following:
- Table - The horizontal alignment, row and column separators, and the frame.
- Row - The row type, vertical alignment, and row separator.
- Column - The horizontal alignment, and column and row separators.
- Cell - The horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, and column and row separators.
