USING INCOPY CS4 247 Tables Delete table and cell styles When you delete a style, you can select a different style to replace it, and you can choose whether to preserve the formatting. 1 Select the style in the Styles panel. 2 Do one of the following: • Choose Delete Style from the panel menu. • Click the Delete icon at the bottom of the panel, or drag the style to the Delete icon. • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the style, and then choose Delete Style. This method is especially useful for deleting a style without applying it to the selected cell or table. 3 Select the style to replace it. If you select [No Table Style] to replace a table style or [None] to replace a cell style, select Preserve Formatting to keep the formatting of the table or cell to which the style is applied. The table or cell preserves its formatting but is no longer associated with a style. 4 Click OK. Redefine table or cell styles based on current formatting After you apply a style, you can override any of its settings. If you decide you like the changes, you can redefine the style to retain the new formatting. Note: If you redefine styles in InCopy content linked to an InDesign document, the modifications are overridden when the linked content is updated. 1 Place the insertion point in the table or cell that is formatted with the style you want to redefine. 2 Make changes to the table or cell as necessary. 3 Choose Redefine Style from the Styles panel menu. Note: For cell styles, changes to only those attributes that are part of the cell style will enable the Redefine Style command. For example, if the cell style includes a red fill and you override a cell to use a blue fill, you can redefine the style based on that cell. But if you change an attribute that is ignored in the cell style, you can't redefine the style with that attribute. Override table and cell styles After you apply a table or cell style, you can override any of its settings. To override a table style, you can change options in the Table Options dialog box. To override a cell, you can change options in the Cell Options dialog box or use other panels to change the stroke or fill. If you select a table or cell that has an override, a plus sign (+) appears next to the style in the Styles panel. You can clear table and cell overrides when you apply a style. You can also clear overrides from a table or cell to which a style has already been applied. If a style has a plus sign (+) next to it, hover over the style to view a description of the override attributes. Preserve or remove overrides while applying a table style • To apply a table style and preserve cell styles but remove overrides, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you click the style in the Table Styles panel.
