Hello, forums members,



Please I just created a table style, and I edited everything that I want, but when going to edit table properties in order to set the default row height and column width, I faced that row height, column width, and cell size was disabled (grayed out), as shown below, so how to enable it to set the desired values with special thanks

Table dimensions can't be defined in a table style, and therefore these options are grayed out.

As an alternative, you can create an AutoText entry which inserts a table with the desired number of rows and columns and the desired column widths etc.

You can save as a Quick Table instead of the general AutoText. That puts it in the menu.

Thank you Mr. Stefan for your reply
Bad news, I think creating style from scratch should allow editing everything as in Adobe Indesign and other software.

Good idea either saving it as AutoText or Quick Table, but I always receive or dealing with already created tables, hence I created the table style, to prevent repeating the same setting each time.

So, is there any VBA code to format the selected table with the desired properties that I will set it, including row height, column width, header row style, other rows style, border ...etc

Thank you

I do not have one off hand. I doubt anyone does.
Try recording a macro doing what you want and see how that works. If you have problems with it, come back here for trouble-shooting.
