Question

Need a help: How to set specific edge colour for some lines in a group of tables?

I have many tables where some strokes keep appearing in black instead of the required new colour.

Cell styles (or myself) do not work well.

The alternating rows menu seems to show some inconsistencies.

Thanks

    In order to get some help, you should provide screen capture, and more information about what you're trying to accomplish in the tables in terms of appearance.

     

    It always helps also to provide information about your system: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using.

    Steve,

    This is the situation where black strokes should be gray.
    Tables have not peripheral border,

     

    I tried this script but couln't check exactly the line of code in the documentation:


    app    .documents[0].stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().properties =
    app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().properties =
    {
    topEdgeStrokeColor : “Red”
    bottomEdgeStrokeColor : “Red”
    leftEdgeStrokeColor : “Red”
    rightEdgeStrokeColor : “Red”
    }

    Thanks,

    Ps. Ventura 13.8.
