Hi Jon P, thanks for the explanation. And thanks ETC for raising the issue. I'm having exactly the same problem with tables (coincidentally, I'm also trying to create a calendar). That is, when I make changes to the format of a table in the Master page (cell fill, stroke and text colour are the changes I made) the formatting does not apply to the table in the pages. Strangely, I changed the fill colour and opacity of some cells and this did get updated on the pages, but when I made similar changes to other cells it didn't get updated on the pages. It might not be a bug as such, but it is definitely something that could be improved upon. Jon P, I tried your suggestion of reapplying the Master page. I tried both the "clear" and "migrate" options in the Apply Master dialogue box and had the same result each way. Doing this actually created a second copy of the table underneath the original table. The new copy of the table had the new formatting as per the amended Master page but it did not have the existing text from the original page version of the table. I can detach the page and then cut and paste (without format) the text from the original tables into the new table and then delete the original table. It works, but having to manually update each table on each page completely defeats the purpose of having Master pages! I'd be really keen to find out if there's a better way to deal with updating table formatting in the Master page. Thanks

Thanks for this explanation Carl123. It was really helpful. I'm having this problem as we speak and thought I was just doing something wrong because I'm a newbie. It seems the issue has not yet been ironed out (as of November 2020). At least I can stop trying to work out what I've done wrong! Now to find another way to achieve what I want to do... wish me luck!
