Format Multiple Cells with a Style
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2025 1:45 am
I've searched the forum and the method for selecting all the cells in a table at one time to format with a style do not seem to work. The forum posts says that you select all cells using CTRL-click, then while holding down the SHIFT key, select cell properties. This does not work. The only method I have found to work is to double click each and every cell, then bring up the context menu and pick the style from the menu. One-at-a-time!
Also, CTRL-clicking is a time consuming activity, while there is a significant delay to bring up the Style tab from within the cell properties menu.
Is there not a straightforward way to select multiple cells in a table to apply a style? Heck, I'd settle for a simple click on the cell and button on the ribbon to apply the style (I can get a button on the ribbon on the style menu, but it is several clicks away if the you are not on the TEXT ribbon).
You would think that selecting all the rows (by clicking the left border of a row) would allow you to apply a style to those cells - but that doesn't work either.
Working in tables is a slow activity in this application requiring multiple menus and clicks - seems like a revamp would make this much more straightforward.
