Help! I am trying to work in a table dynamically. I will need to add and remove cells as I go. I want to text to retain the styles that I give them. When I add new cells to the table, the existing text forgets the style that I gave it and takes on new styles - as though the cells themselves are keeping the styles, not the text.



(My ultimate goal is that I am preparing a 2-column table that will contain two tables of contents that I need to compare. I'll be adding blank cells so that both, for example, chapter 2's begin in the same row. and I will be removing cells when I determine that the sections are the same. I am using my own styles. The TOCs are no longer "fields." )

How do I get the style to stay with the text and not with the table cell?

Thank you!

Hi hotmud,

New table rows always inherit the attributes of the cells on the row above. Only the Style attached to the end-of-cell marker is inherited - other paragraph Styles within a cell are not inherited.
