We tried various Word’s and none of them would copy cell formatting (Ctrl + Shift + C) to another cell (Ctrl + Shift + V). It’s a great theory and, in our opinion, should work. Format Painter copies the look of a selection and applies that formatting to another selection. If all you need is consistency of formatting between cells you might think Format Painter is the solution. What workarounds are available within the features Microsoft has given us? Format Painter Ideally cells, rows and columns should all have individual styles to override the presets within the Table Style. Word’s Table Styles just don’t allow for it. We’d like to have a style called say ‘High Score’ that can change the look of an individually selected cell from the styles list. Change cell lookĬhange any Word table cell formatting, just select the cell (not just the text) then go to Table Design and make the changes you like, such as shading and border. What you can’t do is add a special cell style to apply to individual cells – for example cells with Low, High, Outlier or just something you want to stand out. However, there’s no feature to apply a style to individual cells, except for four special cases (the four corner cells). The settings include formatting for the overall table, rows, columns etc.
Since Word 2007, tables can have named styles, a group of settings that can be applied to a table. There’s a need to apply a named style to individual table cells, for example styles for the four special cells in this table (maybe for high, low or special values). There’s a limitation in Word’s Table Styles no individual cell styles within a Word table We’ll explain the problem and several options to workaround it.Īlong the way it’s a chance to dig into some interesting parts of Word and Office and make them do things that might not have occurred to you.
