TableStyle Object (Word)

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.

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 
 
End Sub
