TableStyle Object

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Represents a single style that can be applied to a table.

Remarks

Use the Table property of the Styles object to return a TableStyle object. Use the Borders property to apply borders to an entire table. Use the Condition method to apply borders or shading only to specified sections of a table. This example creates a new table style and formats the table with a surrounding border. Special borders and shading are applied to the first and last rows and the last column.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub NewTableStyle()
    Dim styTable As Style

Set styTable = ActiveDocument.Styles.Add( _
    Name:="TableStyle 1", Type:=wdStyleTypeTable)

With styTable.Table

    'Apply borders around table
    .Borders(wdBorderTop).LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
    .Borders(wdBorderBottom).LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
    .Borders(wdBorderLeft).LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
    .Borders(wdBorderRight).LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle

    'Apply a double border to the heading row
    .Condition(wdFirstRow).Borders(wdBorderBottom) _
        .LineStyle = wdLineStyleDouble

    'Apply a double border to the last column
    .Condition(wdLastColumn).Borders(wdBorderLeft) _
        .LineStyle = wdLineStyleDouble

    'Apply shading to last row
    .Condition(wdLastRow).Shading _
        .BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorGray125

End With
