Can't set potential text size in empty cells of a table.

[PaulCruice]

I can set text size when cells in a table have text, but not when the cells are empty.

Would have thought that would have been standard.

The “Table Body” Paragraph Style defines the default text formatting (font, size, etc.) for table cells.

You can change that formatting via the Text Styles Panel to reflect the formatting that you need.

Or you can create your own Paragraph Style and apply that style to the cells before you add content.

Yep. But some times cells are moved or changed and end up having a size far bigger than I want. It would be nice to just select the cells and set the size I want when they have been changed like this.

I think the issue might come about because table cells don’t have their own text formatting, it’s the text which has the text formatting rather than the cell itself and that formatting is set (initially) by the Style which was applied to the cell.

I’m not sure what you mean by “cells are moved or changed” or how this related to the formatting of the text. Can you explain a bit more?

[PaulCruice]

Its OK Gary. I kind of understand. Thanks.

You're welcome.
