Apply Cell Style to a Table

Thank you, Shane! Works like a charm. As does 'clear table style overrides' when targeting a table.

The AppleScript command is 'clear cell style overrides'.<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <sstanley@myriad-com.com.au><br />AppleScript Pro Sessions <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>

Robin, I'd like to clear cell and table style overrides using AppleScript -- can you advise? Not sure how to parse the JS code you wrote above. I wonder if you could just tell me which is the key command to clear the local overrides?

Thanks,
Aaron

Thanks to Both.

and before you apply CellStyle - first you need to call clear local formatting

Sub ClearCellStyleOverrides([ClearingOverridesThroughRootCellStyle As Boolean = False])
Member of InDesign.Cell
Clear Cell Style Overrides / ClearingOverridesThroughRootCellStyle: If true, clears all overrides, whether or not they are defined in the underlying cell style

because if do not do this - your new CellStyle will not work - this happens in VB on PC - maybe JS is better ...

so in JS this probably will be:

myTable.cells.itemByRange(0,-1).clearCellStyleOverrides;

myTable.cells.itemByRange(0,-1).appliedCellStyle = myStyle;

which, I believe, is quicker than:

myTable.cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = myStyle;

I am trying to set the same cell style to all cells in the table.

Ah, you're using CS3. I'll delete the other topic.

Which scripting language have you tried? Are you trying to set the same cell style to all cells in the table or some mixture?
