1. Open a Writer document that contains a table.
2. Select the entire table that you want to format.
3. Tap Table Properties on the floating toolbar.
4. Open the Table Styles tab in the properties panel.
5. If the floating toolbar is not visible, tap Tools, open the Table tab, and then select Table Properties.

Success Criteria

• The Table Styles settings area is open.
• Fill and preview options are visible.

Tips While Using

• Select the whole table before opening style settings so the changes apply to the full table more easily.
• If the entry appears in a different place, check the Table category under Tools first.

2. Set highlight fills for key rows and columns

Feature entry: Table Styles → fill options

1. In the Table Styles panel, find the fill-related options.
2. Turn on First Row Fill when you want to highlight the header row.
3. Turn on Last Row Fill when you want to emphasize a summary or ending row.
4. Turn on First Column Fill or Last Column Fill to highlight category or result columns.
5. Check the preview and confirm that the highlighted areas match your needs.

Success Criteria

• The selected first row, last row, first column, or last column shows the highlight effect.
• Key information in the table is easier to identify.

Tips While Using

• You can enable only the fill options you need instead of turning on every option.
• For dense tables, highlighting the header row or a key result column is often enough.

3. Apply banded rows or columns and choose a preview color

Feature entry: Table Styles → Banded Rows / Banded Columns / Preview

1. In the Table Styles panel, turn on Banded Rows or Banded Columns.
2. Check the alternating row or column effect in the table.
3. Choose the style color you want in the Preview area.

5. Return to the document and confirm that the style has been applied.

Success Criteria

• The table shows the selected banded row or banded column effect.

Tips While Using

• Banded rows are especially useful for long tables that need easier line-by-line reading.
• If the table looks too busy, reopen the panel, clear some options, and choose a simpler preview color.
