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

[palala fog]

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.

In this forum there was never a question left unanswered in the old days.

In order not to forget the meaning of a forum I post a solution.

Some lines of scripting like these may help to resolve this post.:

var doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.colors.item("Colour1").remove("Colour2");
doc.colors.item(""Colour2").remove("Colour3");

Maybe you have local overrides in your tables?

Surely and mixed cell styles. Thanks.
