Want to get a better handle on formatting tables? Check out this free video in David Blatner’s lynda.com course InDesign CC Essential Training (2015).
In the video, David shows how to use various selection methods and the Control panel to quickly format text and the surrounding cells to make your tables look great.
And even if you already know a lot about working with tables, the video is still worth watching for the one cool shortcut David demonstrates to instantly select (or deselect) the table strokes for formatting. I’d bet 99.99% of InDesign users don’t know it.
