Teacup Software Releases TableStyles and CellStyles 1.0

Teacup Software today announced the release of TableStyles and CellStyles 1.0, two new plug-ins that bring powerful table styling features to Adobe InDesign CS. A single click can now fully format a table or a cell within a table. From that point on, any changes made to the style are updated on the table automatically. With TableStyles and CellStyles, artists and designers can easily maintain a single style applied to any number of tables, making their work easier and more efficient.
Features for the TableStyles and CellStyles include:

  • Extremely powerful and flexible styling features. Anything you can modify directly on a table or a cell, you can now maintain in a style.
  • A robust yet simple user interface that integrates so smoothly with InDesign it looks and feels like native InDesign functionality.
  • A full scripting interface, allowing users to create JavaScripts, AppleScripts or VBScripts to automate table formatting.
  • The ability to import styles from other documents and to create default styles.  With these features, it becomes easy to standardize the look and feel for tables across an entire organization.

CellStyles and TableStyles makes formatting tables easier, more efficient
“We’ve already had a strong response to these plug-ins,” comments Teacup president Lawrence Horwitz. “Designers immediately recognize how much easier their lives will be with these features, and how much time they’ll save. We’ve worked hard to make these plug-ins instantly familiar to anyone who’s used other InDesign styling features, like character and paragraph styles, so that there’s almost no learning curve. When designers or production people start using these plug-ins, the savings they see in terms of time and efficiency is almost immediate.”
“Another thing we’re excited about is the scripting interface,” he continues.  “The possibilities for automatic table formatting are very exciting. We’ve made it possible to script pretty much anything you can do with table or cell styles. It’s easy to create a script to import and format hundreds of tables at a time.  We think the tools are pretty powerful and we’re eager to see what people do with them.”
