Modified on Mon, 5 Oct at 1:55 PM

BaseExtensions can be used to change color for table fill or border based on table name in Word.

<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:table-fill" first-cell="x,x" last-cell="x,x" table-name="x" color="x,x,x"/>

Description: Fills the table color of a named table for the first-cell to last-cell range.

Parameters:

first-cell

Format is x,y, where x or y must be a number or "f" (for first) or "l" (for last) followed by a number, e.g. f1,l1. First will start from left/top, while last will start from bottom/right. Furthermore, last cell represents the end of the range.

x,y is a pair of horizontal and vertical indexes (with offset).

last-cell

Same format as in first-cell.

table-name

Name of table(s) to be changed.

Use RGB for the color of the fill, e.g. "255,255,255".


<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:table-line" first-cell="x,x" last-cell="x,x" table-name="x" color="x,x,x" border-position="x"/>

Description: Sets the border color of a named table for the first-cell to last-cell ranged on the position defined.

Parameters:

x,y is a pair of horizontal and vertical indexes (with offset).
