andersius Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Affinity Publisher looks really great! Only feature I have found that I miss is the ability to have alternating colors / formating of every other row, and maybe column. I just canceled my last Adobe subscription Anders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andersius Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I see the option of the table style. And that is ok. But I don't see that is possible to make a setting for "every other row". But maybe I don't understand how the table style editor works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 When editing a table format you have the option to set a repeating area with the movable arrows around the preview. If you set it so it repeats the two rows it will apply the alternative style to the table automatically Quote Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andersius Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 OK. I are used to use a lot of different software. But I find the table style editor hard to understand. But I understand what it "tries" to do, at least. But some additional guides in the UI for how to use it might be in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhit Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I agree that the Table Format/Styles needs some work. I've been playing with the format panel and for the life of me cannot get it to do any "normal" table formatting such as header rows, etc. Seems there should be included some fairly standard table styles available as a starter, then it should be easy to modify those to a style that could be saved in used in other related corporate documents. The way it is right now appears to require far too much work (and guessing) to get just a fairly simple, but styled table. The current interface is just non-intuitive as far as setting up a savable table style. Thanks.
