Copying table rows in FrameMaker without copying row formatting

This is the way FrameMaker works when you copy/paste table rows; you get the content and the formatting. You may want to look at my TableCleaner script, which gives you a quick way to remove custom ruling and shading from selected cells, selected tables, and all tables in a document or book. It is a paid script, but may be useful for you in your workflow. See my store at frameexpert dot com. Thank you.

When the table to which you copy has a table format, then you can assign this format to all rows.

Select the new cells, then select Table | Custom Ruling and Shading. In this pod set everything to "From Table" and apply.

When the table to which you copy is changed, e.g. another background color than the table format, then you would have to assign such properties manually.
