A cell style would not only be beneficial for HTML, but very much so for plain documents, where a strict corporate identity is required. I have tried to achieve this with table autoformat, but these elements do not store all elements like different distances to borders correctly. (In contrast to what is said in the tutorial http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Formatting_a_table#AutoFormatting_tables) If a table cell style were implemented, for me there no longer is a pressing need to fix bug 31005. Since this is an enhancement request, I just wanted to bring back into memory that this had quite a lot of support in the OO.org days. openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11121 [This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html remains in LibO 3.5.0 beta 1 This is exactly what I need. I format my table heading cells with a coloured background, but this has to be done manually. If I edit the Table Heading paragraph style so that the background is a different colour, it doesn't change the cell's colour, only the paragraph, so the colour doesn't fill the whole cell. So it's currently impossible to give any table cells or tables a style that affects it at the cell level rather than paragraph. *** Bug 55333 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I want to ask the same thing : new style category : table it would be very useful. One of the strongest points for LibreOffice Writer is the strong and powerful reliance on formatting styles. Currently, LibreOffice supports styles for pages, paragraphs, characters, frames and lists. Styles for tables are severely missing, though. This enhancement would dramatically increase formatting abilities for structured documents, for DTP-like use. It would simplify keeping a number of documents in one style. The feature "Table"->"Autoformat" does something similar to table styles, but it is much less powerful (Autoformats are not editable) and it is highly inconsistent with the general use of styles in LibreOffice. Proposition: Add support for real styles for tables in LibreOffice. Create a new section in the Stylist called "Table Style" (also allow to edit table styles). Competitive assessment: Microsoft Office supports table styles since 2007. History of request: Please keep in mind that this enhancement request exsists since 2003 (OpenOffice) and has 103 votes in the AOO bug tracker. Whoever implements this, gets a bounty: http://www.freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/158/formatting-feature-request-table-cell-styles-table-styles-writer Others, feel free to increase that bounty :) Table styles is a desperately needed feature! Related Apache OO issue (from comment #2) removed from URL field and added to See Also list. Maybe a good solution for this enhancement "Table Styles in Writer" could be an integration with the related existing Calc feature "Choose themes": bug 77569 |
