Dening Table Styles for a Custom Template
A template has one or more table styles that let you format a selected table in a single
click. Table styles are useful for applying consistent formatting to tables.
You can use or redene the table styles in a Numbers template, or you can create your
own styles. See “Using Table Styles” on page 114 to learn how.
Dening Reusable Tables for a Custom Template
A template has one or more reusable tables, which let you add tables that have
already been styled and sized. They can also contain predened content, such as
formulas and text.
When using a template, you add a reusable table by clicking Tables in the toolbar and
choosing a table from the pop-up menu.
You can use or redene the reusable tables in a Numbers template, or you can create
your own. Dening Reusable Tables on page 53 provides instructions.
