Hi all,

Actually I have set some default properties for each cell in a table.

This is for CS3. I have selected a table. Now the problem is I am not able to apply the cell style through script. But I am able to do it manually.

Looping through cells and columns takes more time. To reduce it I have choosed this method. I am not able to get the correct method of doing it.

Thanks,
Hemi

Ah, you're using CS3. I'll delete the other topic.

Which scripting language have you tried? Are you trying to set the same cell style to all cells in the table or some mixture?

myTable.cells.itemByRange(0,-1).appliedCellStyle = myStyle;

which, I believe, is quicker than:

myTable.cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = myStyle;

and before you apply CellStyle - first you need to call clear local formatting

Sub ClearCellStyleOverrides([ClearingOverridesThroughRootCellStyle As Boolean = False])
    Member of InDesign.Cell
    Clear Cell Style Overrides / ClearingOverridesThroughRootCellStyle: If true, clears all overrides, whether or not they are defined in the underlying cell style

because if do not do this - your new CellStyle will not work - this happens in VB on PC - maybe JS is better ...

so in JS this probably will be:

 myTable.cells.itemByRange(0,-1).clearCellStyleOverrides;
