Formatting Properties only applied on Table and not whole document
Hi All,
I have a contractual agreement with multiple tables. There are specific tables which have specific formatting and applicable for only those tables. However, when we apply table style formatting, the style gets applicable to whole document and not to specific table. How should we achieve formatting and style for particular table.
If the same table style is applied to all of your tables, modifying the settings for the table header of that style would affect all tables, yes.
If only one table should have bold text in the header row, do not modify the table style. Instead, just add bold as direct formatting to that table. Select the row and press Ctrl+B.
Alternatively, you can of course use a different table style for the table that should be different.

How are you applying this formatting? You can store (certain) font and paragraph formatting as part of a table style. However, you may prefer to apply paragraph styles to the text paragraphs inside the table cells.
What you cannot do is associate a paragraph style with a table style.
If you want to, you can share a sample document with the forum and explain what you are trying to accomplish. A screen shot may also be helpful.
Stefan_Blom Thank you for your response.
Above is the table I am inserting in my document. This is the only table which has header row as bold whereas other tables in the document don't have header rows as bold. I am using Table Style to bold these header rows as shown below. However, when I do that the style gets applied to all the tables and all the header rows becomes bold.
