This FAQ focuses on 3 common questions about style overlap, restoring default formatting, and print output, plus a short glossary for key terms.
FAQ
Can I use a table style together with manual formatting?
- Yes. You can apply a preset table style first.
- Then you can manually adjust fonts, borders, or fills for specific cells as needed.
- If you apply another table style later, some manual formatting may be replaced.
How do I remove an applied style and return to the default format?
- Select the cells or table range that already has a style applied.
- Click Clear Formatting on the Home tab.
- Confirm that the table has returned to its default formatting state.
Do table styles affect printing?
- Yes. Applied fill colors, borders, and font formatting are included in the printed result.
- Before printing, open print preview to check whether the colors and visual hierarchy are clear.
- If the table uses dark colors, adjust the style before printing.
