Reply To: table style not applying cell styles

I noticed that some settings in InDesign (such as Table styles, or footnote formatting options) are merely ‘recommendations’, and get very ‘intimidated’ by other styles.

For example when you set up in the footnote options a paragraph style to use, when you create a new blank footnote it will use that footnote, but if you copy styled text into that footnote, it will stay with the source style.

I’m afraid the same happens with table styles. They merely ‘recommend’ what style to use in a new blank cell but they get ‘intimidated’ by an incoming style. So to fix that, select all body rows and option/alt-click on the Body Text cell style to force the style change.
