Dear all, 

Anybody who knows why my cell styles aren't applied? They are using the styles but I still see [none] as cell style in stead of my own cell style. 

 

Kind regards, 

xavier

What I know is this bug: when cell styles are part of a Table style, and the Table style is apllied, InDrsign does not show the correct Cell styles in the panel...

Hi @3december:

 

Sometimes InDesign tables resist displaying styles because of local overrides, but your nested paragraph and cell styles are working exactly as defined. Does the table look incorrect to you, or was it just not knowing where to look to see the assigned styles?

Sorry, didn't saw the replies until know. It's like @Frans v.d. Geest says.

Hi @3december ,

yes, they are applied through the table style you are using.

And therefore you see the name of the applied cell style only at the bottom of the Cell Styles panel.

 

From my German InDesign 2023 on Windows 10 where the header row is selected:
