You can apply formatting to the whole table, first or last column or row, or a group of rows or columns. From the Apply Formatting To list, select the columns or rows to format.

Select font, size, and color. Select border and border color and click on Apply. The new style appears in the CSS Styles list of the Table Styles dialog box. Select this style to create tables with the same style later.
