RELATED IDEAS

Possiblity to use table styles from a Word stylesheet

Context: Different projects have different needs in term of document templates, fronts and styles are part of these needs.

Problem: As of today, elements such as border thickness and color, background color can be customized with a variable for each property, but that would not be user friendly. It would be more efficient to be able to use a table style that the users can modify in the style sheet, the same way it works for the text styles.

Impact: Either projects have to abandon the idea of having customized table styles in their documents or we have to customize a template every time a project needs it

Goal of the idea: It would allow the users to customize the tables in their documents without us hard coding it

Why it is useful ?: Having more flexible and customizable templates

How should it work ?: the same as the text styles
