In the previous exercise we created our window schedule table as shown. Let's edit our table style slightly here, let's make things stand out like our headers, our title. What we might even do there is might even change the text style for the table as well. So let's go to our Annotate Tab first here and we're going to go to our Text Panel here and go to Text Style. At the moment we have a standard text style there as you can see, I'm going to change that, that's the text style that is being used. Let's change the font there to something like Times New Roman. So it's a totally different font. If I apply that now and close you'll see that everything in the window schedule updates, because it utilizes the Text Style that you had in place when you created the table. OK, let's go now to our Tables Panel here, AutoCAD is our current table style. If I click here and change the table style like so, there's AutoCAD there, its highlighted it's the current table style, so I go to Modify. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go to header and go to the General Tab and change the Fill Color there to yellow. So you'll notice in the preview the header is now highlighted in yellow. If I go to the title settings and go to the General Tab and change the Fill Color there to a Cyan color, apply all blue you'll see that the title heading there is also changed. If I click on OK now, click on AutoCAD, click on Set Current and close you'll see that my table style has updated to suit that new style. If I go perhaps to the table here and just click on the Down Arrow here and change it to standard there's the standard style and there's the AutoCAD style, hit Escape to deselect. So you can enhance your table styles by utilizing color and also fonts, they are then easier to distinguish and easier to read.
