  • Article

For additional notes that apply to this portion of the standard, please see the notes for tblPr, §17.7.6.3(a); tblPr, §17.7.6.4(a).

a.   The standard states that when the tblLook element is omitted, the bitmask of table style options on the current table shall be assumed to be 0x0000.

In Word, when the tblLook element is omitted, the bitmask of table style options on the current table is assumed to be 0x04A0.

b.   The standard states there are six conditional formatting options that can be set in tblLook.

When both a row and a column styling is applied it may yield undesired effect on the overlapping corner cell. Word allows the cell to be individually styled. These corner cells are:

  • Top left cell – when Header Row and First Column are used.

  • Top right cell – when Header Row and Last Column are used.

  • Bottom left cell – when Total Row and First Column are used.

  • Bottom right cell – when Total Row and Last Column are used.

c.   The standard specifies a set of attributes on this element.

Word reads the val attribute specified in "[ISO/IEC-29500-4] §14.4.12; Additional attribute for tblLook element (Part 1, §17.4.55)" if, and only if, none of the attributes specified in this subsection are present.
