Subtitles of the Movie (Apple iWork 08 / Cool Numbers Tips / Manage Table Styles)
Now in the last module I showed you how to deal with a style and redefine a style, so I've created the style here called Brian and I've applied it to this table right here. Well once again if I start to add a new sheet or if I just get rid of this table which I'll do and I add a new table, let's say headers or basic, let's just say headers here. So this is what it's going to look like. Well why is that happening? Well it's because this is my default style, set as default style for new tables. So if I want this new table to look like that every time, again I'll select it and I'll delete. Let me go down here to my styles gallery or my styles pane here and I'm going to set this as the default style for new tables. So I'll just give that button a click, give that a click and now what happens if I add a new basic table or I add a new headers table? Again I get that same look and feel that I already configured for myself. So that can save even more clicking around. If you've imported a bunch of spreadsheets from Excel for example and you got kind of a universal uniform look and feel to some of those tables and you don't want those, maybe you don't even want people to know that you're using numbers, you're cranking out this awesome looking spreadsheets and inserting some really dynamic charts and you're finding it much easier to use, but you want to keep the same color schemes that were used from excel, lots of different reasons you might want to do this, but obviously you can save yourself a little, even more hassle, then just using a style and applying the style by defining your default style for your tables. And you do that with just a couple of clicks right there. Now other types of management here you can certainly get rid of one of your styles that you've defined by just scrolling down the list here and you have the ability to delete the styles. So there's a style that's selected, I'll click on the Brian style and I'll go down here and notice here that I'm not able to delete that style. There's a reason why that is the case, the reason is that, it is right now a default style. So now if I have the ledger as the default style and now it is I'll be able to go back down to Brian here and if I'm done with it I can delete style. So it's in use, you might get this, because, especially if you've had a default style first, the style you want to delete it's used in the document, so that style has to be replaced by something. So what do you want to replace it? Well you replace it with one of your existing styles, we'll choose blue headers and replace and bingo that's the changes that are going to be made to the tables.
