hi all,

am experimenting with possibilities to update an excel sheet without loosing the formatting. in that context i try to get the properties of one table copied onto another.

the following "mostly" works:

set pTable1 to properties of table1
set properties of table2 to pTable1

as far as i can see all attributes are carried over. my debugger shows that "start row fill color" is set correctly to, say, "color id 10 of myDoc", but the table stays plain white.

did not find the option "preserve local formatting". can this be the problem here, that every cell has a local setting that has to be deleted? if so, how? or am i on the wrong track?

thank you
gerald
