How to set a default font for a table

How can I set a default font for a table?

Using table styles

In HelpSmith, you can use table styles that can you can add and apply in the Styles pane (View tab|Styles).

When you insert a new table, HelpSmith links it with the default table style (named "Table"). In the table style, you can set font and paragraph settings for the first row, last row, first column, regular cells, and other elements of the table.

Thus, a table style lets you set the desired font settings once and then re-use the formatting for other tables in your documentation.

The table style is working fine, thank you! However, if a table doesn't use a specific table style, the font settings should be copied from the previous row.

if a table doesn't use a specific table style, the font settings should be copied from the previous row.

Yes, if you set font to the text within a table manually through the Write tab without using a table style, the editor should copy the formatting to new rows. We will fix this behavior in the next HelpSmith update.
