Copying Properties Between Table Cells

The CellPropertyPainter command applies the properties of one table cell to specified cells in the same table, or in other tables.

You can copy and paste various properties between table cells, including the following:

  • Cell style
  • Alignment
  • Background Color
  • Border Syle
  • Margins
  • Locking Status

You cannot apply properties from the source cell to locked cells.

To copy properties between table cells:

  1. Click inside of a cell to select it.
  2. On the Table contextual ribbon, click Cell > Match Cell Properties (or type CellPropertyPainter).
  3. Specify the table cells to apply properties to.

    You can specify as many cells as necessary.

  4. Press Esc or Enter to exit the command.
