import custom table ruling

Hi,

I am creating new table types and would like to import the new definitions to all the other files in the same book. Everything imports fine except for the custom ruling. I notice in the Import Formats dialog that there is no special checkbox for custom shading and ruling, but I did check Table Formats. However, although the names of the custom table formats do get imported, the actual configuration of each custom format does not get imported to the other files. Any idea what I need to do to get this to work?

Thank you!

I can't replicate this issue, Joyce. When I import table formats from one doc to another, the table tags, custom rules and colors (and colors surprised me since Color Defs was not checked) are all coming in with just the Table Formats checkmark selected in File > Import > Formats. When I tag a table, it assigns all of them them at once, correctly.
