Question Office 2021: How is a selected entry assigned a particular style, yet its font type and font size st

Office 2021: How is a selected entry assigned a particular style, yet its font type and font size still do not appear?




In the screenshot below, the selected entries are assigned to the indicated style; however, neither the font type nor the font size appears.

The blanks indicate that there are multiple choices made in the selection.

Click in one word in one cell and they will appear.




Table Styles are a different thing from paragraph or character styles.
You are showing formatting as styles in your styles pane.

Yeah, that happens sometimes with tables. You will make yourself crazy trying to understand it.

My guess that it has something to do with the fact that tables have two sets of formatting rules--1. any applicable text/paragraph styles, and 2. formatting applied through table properties.

That is strictly a WAG, though, not the product of extensive research.

Here is a counterexample: all the table is selected, and the font type and size are not blank!

The first screenshot implies that there is a mix of formatting applied. Best guess is that the table was inserted in a paragraph with a different style to the one you applied to the text in the table, but it is impossible to diagnose that with certainty from a screenshot.

The blanks are the equivalent of the filled in checkbox. Some have one choice, some another.

Much better than screenshots for analyzing something like this would be a sample document attached that has the problem.

Question

My question is how the entire table can be assigned a particular style, yet the font type and size still appear blank. I understand that assigning entries to a specific style should make them consistent in all aspects. What do I need to do to ensure the font type and size are not blank?


The other table is as expected. It’s assigned to the same style, and the font type and size are not blank.

Conflicting settings in a text range would display options as blank. Similarly, check boxes would display filled rather than cleared or selected.

Also, note that for any selection which is large enough, options that may be different in different parts of a selection will not display properly in Word's dialog boxes, drop down menus etc.

For example, you can have a whole document in Times New Roman, 12 pt, and you still see blank font and size options. See the screen shot.
