Set up and Apply table rules

      The table rules feature is crucial for quickly configuring settings for table rules, making it a one-time setup task. Once you configure the rules width settings, they can be reused for future applications.

Set up table rules

      1. Navigate to the "Table" tab, click on the "Rules" icon, and choose "Rules Width" This action will open a settings pop-up box where you can configure the rules.




      2. Uncheck the default $-value option and make the necessary changes to the settings. The default settings are pre-configured, but if they don’t meet your requirements, you can uncheck the default $-value option. Adjust the settings to suit your specific needs, such as changing the width or style of the rules.





      3. Configure the rule application settings based on your requirements. The options include:

  1.   Value: The rule will be applied only to the value column.
  2.   $-Value: The rule can be applied to both currency and value columns.
  3.   $-Value-%: The rule can be applied to currency, value, and percentage columns.
  4.   $-Value-%-Gutter: The rule can be applied to currency, value, percentage, and gutter (empty) columns.
  5.   Entire Row: The rules can be applied to the entire selected row.
  6.   Current Cell: The rules can be applied to only the current cell where the mouse cursor is present or the selected cells.



      4. In the settings pop-up, you’ll find options to set the width for Single, Double, and Thick rules. Enter the desired scaling values for each type of rule to ensure consistency and meet your formatting standards.
      5. Click "OK" to save the rule settings. These settings will now be available for use whenever you need to apply table rules in your document.

Apply Table Rules

  1. Choose the desired content in the table.
  2. Navigate to the "Table" tab in the toolbar, and click on the "Rules" icon to open the rules settings.
  3. From the list of configured rules, select the one you need. The selected rule will be instantly applied to the chosen content, formatting it according to the predefined settings.


      By following these steps, you can efficiently set up and apply table rules, ensuring consistency across the document and saving time in formatting tables. This process allows for a streamlined approach to table formatting, making it easier to maintain a professional and organized appearance in your documents.
