I'm hoping someone can help on an urgent table formatting need. I think I've bitten off more than I can chew on a publication I'm working on.  

I have a ton of tables to format. So far, I've written a script to get the lines, but need to know how to set the fill and character style of the table. The table needs to have a different first row as well (different characterstyle and fill).  

I haven't been able to find any sample scripts to assist me. Can anyone help? 

This is what I have so far: 

tell application "InDesign 2.0" 
	set theFrame to item 1 of selection 
	set myTable to table 1 of theFrame 
	set rowCount to row count of table 1 of theFrame 
	set colCount to column count of table 1 of theFrame 
	set dString to "Table is " & rowCount & " by " & colCount 
	display dialog dString 
	set bottom edge stroke weight of rows of myTable to "1pt" 
	set left edge stroke weight of columns of myTable to "2pt" 
end tell
