How to hide table styles on the Table Tools Design tab in Word (for developers) The problem: does anyone need 99 ways to format a table?

The Design tab includes the Table Styles group. This gives you, out of the box, 99 table styles from which to choose.

Having applied one of the 99 styles, the user can then choose whether or not to show banded columns, banded rows, header or total rows and so on.

In a corporate environment, the communications people would tear their hair out if users formatted tables in 99 different ways. A corporate environment is likely to have 2 or 3 ‘approved’ ways to format a table.

The solution: hide most, if not all, of the built-in table styles

Well-constructed templates for corporate use are likely to have 2 or 3 custom table styles that fit the corporate branding. Or, the in-house rules may be that 2 or 3 of the built-in styles are to be used, but the rest are off limits.

There is no way in the user interface to hide the built-in table styles.

But you can do it in code. Something like this will do the trick:

Sub HideATableStyle() With ActiveDocument.Styles(Word.wdStyleTableLightShading) .Visibility = True ' Yes, True. .UnhideWhenUsed = False End With End Sub

If you’re creating a template for corporate use, it may be appropriate to hide most of the built-in table styles in the template. Leave the approved custom or built-in table styles visible. Users can then easily apply the corporate-approved table styles when working on documents based on that template.

Sub HideATableStyleButMakeItVisibleWhenUsed() With ActiveDocument.Styles(Word.wdStyleTableLightShading) .Visibility = True ' Yes, True. .UnhideWhenUsed = True End With End Sub

How To Format Microsoft Word Tables Using Table Styles

Apply and Modify Table Styles in Word Documents

Applies to: Microsoft ® Word ® 2013, 2023, 2023 or 365 (Windows)

You can apply table styles to your Word tables to format them quickly and consistently. Word is shipped with several built-in table styles or you can create your own. You can edit table styles by modifying borders, shading, character formatting, paragraph formatting and table properties. If your document includes multiple tables, table styles can save a lot of time.

Note: Buttons and Ribbon tabs may display in a different way (with or without text) depending on your version of Word, the size of your screen and your Control Panel settings. For Word 365 users, Ribbon tabs may appear with different names. For example, the Table Tools Design tab may appear as Table Design.

Table styles and themes

Every Word document uses a document theme which includes a font theme and color theme. The colors used in table styles are based on the color theme.

You can select document themes, color themes and font themes using the Themes, Colors or Fonts drop-down menus on the Design tab in the Ribbon:

Turning gridlines on

When you are working with tables, it’s a good idea to turn gridlines on. Borders, which are a format, will print. Gridlines do not print.

To turn on gridlines:

If your Word document contains multiple tables that you want to format in a consistent way, it’s best to use table styles rather than applying manual or direct formatting to each table.

To apply a table style to a table:

Hover over the various table styles. The table formatting will change as you move over different table styles in the gallery.

Below is the Table Styles gallery (the current theme is the Office theme):

Selecting Table Style Options

Once you have selected a table style, you can select different Table Style Options (which are affected by the formats in the table style).

To select Table Style Options:

In Table Style Options, check or uncheck Header Row. If this option is checked, the header row will be formatted differently from the body rows.

In Table Style Options, check or uncheck Total Row. If this option is checked, the last row will be formatted differently from the body rows.

In Table Style Options, check or uncheck Banded Rows or Banded Columns for alternate row or column shading.

In Table Style Options, check First Column or Last Column if you want the first or last column formatted differently from the other columns.

You can modify a table style in a Word document and all tables using that table style will change.

To modify a table style:

From the Apply Formatting to drop-down menu, select the element that you want to modify (such as Header row).

Select the desired formatting such as font, font size, font color, fill and border.

From the Apply Formatting to drop-down menu, select the next element that you want to modify.

Select the desired formatting such as font, font size, font color, fill and border.

Repeat for other elements.

Select Only in this document or New documents based on this template. If you select Only in this document, the modified style will only be available for the current document. If you select New documents based on this template, then the table style will be modified for future documents based on the current template (usually the Normal template).

Below is the Modify Style dialog box:

You can also modify Table Properties in a table style. Table properties include table alignment, row settings and cell margins.

To modify Table Properties in a table style:

Select any other formatting options you want to apply to the entire table.

Select Only in this document or New documents based on this template.

Below is the Table Properties dialog box with the Table tab selected:

You can also create a new or custom table style.

To create a custom table style:

Enter a name for the new table in the Name box.

Select the desired formatting.

Select Only in this document or New documents based on this template.

New Table Style appears at the bottom of the Table Styles gallery:

Clearing a table style

To clear a table style and remove formatting:

Clear appears at the bottom of the Table Styles gallery:

You can also set a default table style for new tables in the current document or all new documents.

To set a default table style:

Select This document only or All documents based on the chúng tôi template (the default template in Word is the Normal template).

If you are working with documents with multiple tables, formatting with table styles can ensure that your tables are formatted consistently and save a lot of time.

Table Tool Enhancements In Word 2013

All versions of Word have given users the ability to arrange text into a Table format – an ideal way to present information in the form of a list with defined Rows, Columns and Cells. However, making structural changes to a Table, like adding additional Rows and Columns to an existing Table, has always meant making sure that your cursor was in the proper Row or Column and then taking a trip with your mouse to the top of the screen to use the various Insert Row and Column tools provided on the Table Tools Layout tab as pictured below:

Now, these tools were not difficult to use, but they were out of the way when you were working in a Table and you had to keep moving your mouse to the top of the screen. Also, if you were not aware of what Row or Column your cursor was in at the time you used one of the buttons, you’d end up with the new Row or Column in the wrong position in your Table.

This makes it faster and more intuitive to add the new Rows and Columns you need without having to move your mouse out of the Table and up to the Ribbons.

The other Table tools that have been enhanced are the tools that let you enhance the thickness, color or style of borders in your Tables. In past versions of Word, you’d first have to select the Rows, Columns or Cells whose borders you wished to enhance and then use the drop down menu from the Borders button and make the correct choice of which Border (top, bottom, outside, inside, etc.) you wished to enhance. This menu was easy to misinterpret and you’d end up with an incorrect border choice that you’d have to undo and try again:

Or, you could have used this menu to open the Borders & Shading dialog box, which was also a non-intuitive and time consuming box to work with:

First, the Border Painter. In order to use this tool, you must first be in an existing Table so the Table tools contextual tabs are present. Then on the Table Tools Design tab, select the style, color and weight (thickness) of your desired Border Style. This automatically turns on the Border Painter as pictured below:

Your mouse pointer will now look like a pen, and you simply drag your mouse over the borders you wish to enhance and they will acquire the border style you want as pictured below:

You will then see a palette of existing Border Styles as well as Recently Used Custom Border Styles. All you need to do is select the Border Style you wish to reproduce. Your mouse pointer will then look like a pen, and you can copy the selected Border Style over any additional Border segments you wish to enhance.

Change Table Style In Word

By default, a table is created with the Table Grid style, which includes a basic black border around each cell in the table. Word includes many built-in styles that provide more visual appeal.

The Table Styles group will show a few table styles, but to see the rest, you’ll need to expand the gallery.

Select a style.

The style is applied to the table, changing the borders, shading, and colors.

You could create a new style by selecting New Table Style or modify an existing one by selecting Modify Table Style and choosing which formatting you’d like.

To remove a Table Style, select Clear from the More Table Styles menu.

You can further customize a table style by changing the table style options.

Use the check boxes in the Table Style Options group to toggle the following settings:

Header Row will apply special formatting to the first row of the table. This special formatting can include font effects, or font, background, and border color.

First Column will apply special formatting to the first column.

Total Row will add special formatting to the final row of a table, designed to summarize the rows above it.

Last Column will apply special formatting to the last column to summarize the earlier columns.

Banded Rows will alternate the background color of rows.

Banded Columns will alternate the background color of columns.

You can control how text is aligned within a table cell, just like you’d align text on the page.

Select the cell or cells you want to align.

You could also select the entire table if you want to align all the text together.

Expand the Alignment group, if necessary.

There are nine alignment options, letting you align the content to either side of a cell, any corner, or center it in the middle of the cell.

Select an alignment option.

The text in the selected cell realigns to the selected side or corner.

You can also select Text Direction to change the text from left-to-right to top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top.

You can also adjust the margins between cell borders and the text within those cells.

Select cell or cells you want to adjust.

You can select the entire table to adjust all the margins at once.

From the Layout tab, expand the Alignment group, if necessary.

In the Table Options dialog box, we can adjust the margins for the selected cell or cells. The margin affects how much space there is between the edge of the cell and the contents of that cell.

Adjust the margins.

You can adjust the margin on each side of the cell independently.

The cell margins are changed.

Styles For Individual Table Cells In Word

There’s a limitation in Word’s Table Styles; no individual cell styles within a Word table We’ll explain the problem and several options to workaround it.

Along the way it’s a chance to dig into some interesting parts of Word and Office and make them do things that might not have occurred to you.

There’s a need to apply a named style to individual table cells, for example styles for the four special cells in this table (maybe for high, low or special values).

Change cell look

Change any Word table cell formatting, just select the cell (not just the text) then go to Table Design and make the changes you like, such as shading and border.

We’d like to have a style called say ‘High Score’ that can change the look of an individually selected cell from the styles list.

Ideally cells, rows and columns should all have individual styles to override the presets within the Table Style.

What workarounds are available within the features Microsoft has given us?

Format Painter

If all you need is consistency of formatting between cells you might think Format Painter is the solution. Format Painter copies the look of a selection and applies that formatting to another selection.

It’s a great theory and, in our opinion, should work. It doesn’t.

We tried various Word’s and none of them would copy cell formatting (Ctrl + Shift + C) to another cell (Ctrl + Shift + V).

The formatting of a selection within a cell can be copied but not the entire cells formatting.

Paragraph Styles

The next possibility is paragraph styles. Within each cell is text with style formatting (paragraph, character or linked), just like all text in Word. See: What is a Style in Word, Excel or Outlook?

So much for that idea …

We made a style, cunningly called ‘Special Cell’, with border shading for the background. You can see the result here.

Changing one cell margins might not work because the top/bottom margins need to be the same for the entire row (give it a try, if you like).

Despite that limitation, maybe paragraph styles are enough; a design compromise you can live with.

Excel

If you need individual cell formatting and do it regularly, the best solution is to use Excel.

Excel Styles work with individual cells, unlike Word.

Paste or link a selection or table from Excel into Word. See Putting Excel into Word.

Start by copying your existing Word table into Excel or make a table first in Excel.

Custom Cell styles appear in the Style Gallery ready to apply to as many cells as you like.

Conditional Formatting

Excel also has conditional formatting so you can automatically colorize cells according to their value.

That means your Excel table could automatically highlight high, low or out of range values.

Fake ‘styles’ for cells

Word doesn’t have separate cell styles but you can fake it with a little VBA code to apply consistent cell formatting. See Make styles for individual table cells in Word
