Storing table formats

A table format works as a template, storing the underlying structure of the table but not its content. Table formats are used to save an existing table's structure (or format) and then reapply the same formatting to any new tables at any time later for consistency.

You can save table formatting in the Formats section of the Table panel, and update a saved table format with a selected table's settings.

Updating a table format will automatically update the formatting of tables to which the format has been applied.

To save a table as a new custom table format:

Select a table.
On the Table panel, open the Formats section.
Tap on Panel Preferences and choose Add Format from Selection.

To apply a stored table format:

Do one of the following, with a table selected on the page:

On the Table panel's Formats section, double-tap on a table format to apply it instantly.
Tap on the table format's options menu and choose:
- Apply "[Table format name]" to apply formatting and retain all existing table formatting.
- Apply "[Table format name]" (Override Local) to apply formatting and override all existing table formatting.

To update a table format with settings from a table:

Select the table.
On the Table panel, tap Formats.
Select Update "[Table format name]" on the table format's options menu.

To save a set of table formats as a default (for any new document):

On the section's Panel Preferences menu, choose Save Formats as Default.
