There are a couple of different ways to use styles to affect the look of tables that you insert. First, you can use standard HTML table tags (e.g., <table>, <td>, <th>, <tr>). You can modify these styles in your topic style sheet. A second option is to use the custom table style sheets that Flare lets you create. These table style sheets let you create patterns and different looks for tables. You can use one or both of these methods when designing the look of tables.
When you insert a table, it is set up by default to use standard table tags in the individual cells (e.g., <th> for table headers, <td> for regular table text). However, if you press Enter at the end of a line, a <p> tag is added within the standard tag. Therefore, in order to keep all of the content in your table cells looking consistent, you may want to create a special style class of the <p> tag to be used for table content (e.g., p.tabletext) and apply that style to all of your cells when you first create a table. You can apply specific styles to tables by selecting the table cells, clicking Table>Cell Content Style, and choosing the style to be used for those cells.
