Which table tools tab on the word 2022 ribbon is used to apply table styles?

By default, a table is created with the Table Grid style, which includes a basic black border around each cell in the table. Word includes many built-in styles that provide more visual appeal.

Show
  1. Click inside the table.
  2. Click the Design tab in the Table Tools ribbon group.
  3. The Table Styles group will show a few table styles, but to see the rest, you’ll need to expand the gallery.

  4. (Optional) Click the Table Styles More button to see all the available styles.

  5. Select a style.
  6. Which table tools tab on the word 2022 ribbon is used to apply table styles?

The style is applied to the table, changing the borders, shading, and colors.

You could create a new style by selecting New Table Style or modify an existing one by selecting Modify Table Style and choosing which formatting you’d like.

To remove a Table Style, select Clear from the More Table Styles menu.

You can further customize a table style by changing the table style options.

  1. Use the check boxes in the Table Style Options group to toggle the following settings:
    Which table tools tab on the word 2022 ribbon is used to apply table styles?
    • Header Row will apply special formatting to the first row of the table. This special formatting can include font effects, or font, background, and border color.
    • First Column will apply special formatting to the first column.
    • Total Row will add special formatting to the final row of a table, designed to summarize the rows above it.
    • Last Column will apply special formatting to the last column to summarize the earlier columns.
    • Banded Rows will alternate the background color of rows.
    • Banded Columns will alternate the background color of columns.

The special formatting applied by each option is controlled by the style that’s been applied to the table. You can customize these formatting options by clicking the Table Styles More button, then selecting Modify Table Style.

You can control how text is aligned within a table cell, just like you’d align text on the page.

  1. Select the cell or cells you want to align.
  2. You could also select the entire table if you want to align all the text together.

  3. Click the Layout tab in the Table Tools ribbon group.
  4. Expand the Alignment group, if necessary.
  5. There are nine alignment options, letting you align the content to either side of a cell, any corner, or center it in the middle of the cell.

  6. Select an alignment option.

The text in the selected cell realigns to the selected side or corner.

You can also select Text Direction to change the text from left-to-right to top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top.

You can also adjust the margins between cell borders and the text within those cells.

  1. Select cell or cells you want to adjust.
  2. You can select the entire table to adjust all the margins at once.

  3. From the Layout tab, expand the Alignment group, if necessary.
  4. Click the Cell Margins button.

    Microsoft Word adopted the Ribbon User Interface (UI) with the introduction of Office 2007. This page explores some of the variations on that Ribbon through the versions. In composing this page, a deliberate choice was made to not resize images. This makes for a wide page, especially on mobile devices. Narrower versions with resized images are available as narrow version and very narrow version. They may not be updated as often.

    I was not a great lover of the Ribbon; it has grown on me. MS tells us that it is easier for beginners to use, and they may be right.

    For experienced users, there is a tremendous learning curve. From Word 2007 on, it has been possible to modify the Ribbon. In Word 2007 this required an ability to code in vba and XML. In the later versions it has been possible to make much more limited modifications through the interface. All versions since 2007 have included the Quick Access Toolbar as the only easily modifiable toolbar. This is in sharp contrast to Word 97-2003 where all of the menus and toolbars were easily modified from within the interface.

    For a start on modifying the ribbon using XML and vba, I recommend Greg Maxey's site, starting with Customize the Ribbon (It doesn't take rocket science) . An essential book, and not just for Word 2007, is RibbonX: Customizing the Office 2007 Ribbon - by Robert Martin, Ken Puls, and Theresa Hennig.

    What I will do here is show some variations over time on the tabs I commonly used in Word.

    Incidentally, I recently discovered that if you hover your mouse pointer over the Ribbon and use the wheel on the mouse, it will scroll horizontally through the tabs!

    The non-context tabs (always available): - - - - - - - - - -

    Some of the tabs: - - - - - - -

    Not Ribbon "Tabs" - Backstage - The Office Button and File Button on far left

    On the left end of the Ribbon is a special button to take you to Word's "backstage." In Word 2007 this is the multi-color Office button. In the later versions it appears to be a blue tab named File. You do not see the document when you click on one of these. You also do not see any of the Ribbon tabs when your are in Backstage view. Pressing Esc returns you to the document view in the tab that you were viewing last. If you don't see your tab's controls chances are that you have minimized the Ribbon. There are at the bottom of this page.

    Minimizing the Ribbon - making more room to see your document

    If you right-click on a Ribbon tab one of the options is to minimize/maximize the ribbon. Double-clicking on any tab or pressing the Ctrl+F1 key combination will do the same thing. In Word 2010 and later because the File Button is blue/black, it is easy to think that the has been selected or become the default when the Ribbon is minimized. Here is a sample of a minimized Ribbon.

    Which table tools tab on the word 2022 ribbon is used to apply table styles?

    If the Ribbon is minimized, you can use the same process to bring it back: (1) double-click on any ribbon tab, or (2) right-click on any ribbon tab and uncheck "minimize the ribbon," or, (3) Press the Ctrl+F3 keyboard shortcut.

    In Word 2013 or later, there is an additional switch that can cause it to entirely disappear until you move your cursor to the top of the screen. That is the AutoHide option. The control for this is an arrow in a box at the top-right corner of the window by the X to close a document. Using AutoHide also hides the QAT and the Status Bar. It gives you your document in print mode with the rulers.

    Which table tools tab on the word 2022 ribbon is used to apply table styles?

    I won't do this with each tab. The three tabs above are all screenshots of the ribbon on the same computer. Word repackages the ribbon tabs to fit the available space.

    In the wider version, it gives more space to the Styles Gallery. In the narrower version some buttons shrink or lose captions. The combination of screen size and resolution determines what you will see,  so your ribbons may not look exactly like any of the ones shown here. Another example showing different screen layouts is in the Word 2010 version of the contextual tab below. Your ribbon may or may not have a Developer Tab, that is up to you.

    The Word 2007 and 2010 tabs shown are from a laptop running Windows Vista. The Word 2013/365 tabs are from a desktop tower running Windows 7 on a larger screen or from a laptop running Windows 10.

    Note, that this is in a document in Word 2010 native .docx format. If the document is in Word 97-2003 .doc format we see the same gallery as in Word 2007.
