Reply To: Selecting Irregular Table Rows

What proportion are the irregularities? If they’re not so many, maybe start with the alternate row tints as the default table style, then adjust the exceptions afterwards?

If you have to do it manually, you can speed things up with keyboard shortcuts for “select row”, and cell style shortcuts for “tint” / “no tint”. Then select a whole cell at the start of the table, and go down with the down arrow on the keyboard, using your shortcuts as you go. Easy to get into a rhythm I find.
Also, if there’s a common paragraph or character style applied to the irregular rows, use find/change to find that style, set up a shortcut for “find again”, and combine that with the other shortcuts.
Still a manual process, but can be surprisingly fast.
