The following script fragment shows how to create header and footer rows in a table (for the complete
script, see HeaderAndFooterRows):
var myTable = app.documents.item(0).stories.item(0).tables.item(0);
//Convert the first row to a header row.
myTable.rows.item(0).rowType = RowTypes.headerRow;
//Convert the last row to a footer row.
myTable.rows.item(-1).rowType = RowTypes.footerRow;
The following script fragment shows how to apply formatting to a table (for the complete script, see
TableFormatting):
var myTable = myDocument.stories.item(0).tables.item(0);
//Convert the first row to a header row.
myTable.rows.item(0).rowType = RowTypes.headerRow;
//Use a reference to a swatch, rather than to a color.
myTable.rows.item(0).fillColor = myDocument.swatches.item("DGC1_446b");
myTable.rows.item(0).fillTint = 40;
myTable.rows.item(1).fillColor = myDocument.swatches.item("DGC1_446a");
myTable.rows.item(1).fillTint = 40;
myTable.rows.item(2).fillColor = myDocument.swatches.item("DGC1_446a");
myTable.rows.item(2).fillTint = 20;
myTable.rows.item(3).fillColor = myDocument.swatches.item("DGC1_446a");
myTable.rows.item(3).fillTint = 40;
//Use everyItem to set the formatting of multiple cells at once.
myTable.cells.everyItem().topEdgeStrokeColor = myDocument.swatches.item("DGC1_446b");
myTable.cells.everyItem().topEdgeStrokeWeight = 1;
myTable.cells.everyItem().bottomEdgeStrokeColor =
myDocument.swatches.item("DGC1_446b");
myTable.cells.everyItem().bottomEdgeStrokeWeight = 1;
//When you set a cell stroke to a swatch, make certain you also set the
//stroke weight.
myTable.cells.everyItem().leftEdgeStrokeColor = myDocument.swatches.item("None");
myTable.cells.everyItem().leftEdgeStrokeWeight = 0;
myTable.cells.everyItem().rightEdgeStrokeColor = myDocument.swatches.item("None");
myTable.cells.everyItem().rightEdgeStrokeWeight = 0;
The following script fragment shows how to add alternating row formatting to a table (for the complete
script, see AlternatingRows):
//Given a table "myTable" containing at least four rows and a document
//"myDocument" containing the colors "DGC1_446a" and "DGC1_446b"...
//Convert the first row to a header row.
myTable.rows.item(0).rowType = RowTypes.headerRow;
//Applly alternating fills to the table.
myTable.alternatingFills = AlternatingFillsTypes.alternatingRows;
myTable.startRowFillColor = myDocument.swatches.item("DGC1_446a");
myTable.startRowFillTint = 60;
myTable.endRowFillColor = myDocument.swatches.item("DGC1_446b");
myTable.endRowFillTint = 50;
