example, you may want to add a solid stroke to the first column and a Thick - Thin line to the next column, so that

Table and cell styles
About table and cell styles
Just as you use paragraph and character styles to format text, you can use table and cell styles to format tables. A table
style is a collection of table formatting attributes, such as table borders and row and column strokes, that can be
applied in a single step. A cell style includes formatting such as cell insets, paragraph styles, and strokes and fills.
When you edit a style, all tables or cells to which the style is applied are updated automatically.
[Basic Table] and [None] styles
By default, each new document contains a [Basic Table] style that can be applied to tables you create and a [None]
style that can be used to remove cell styles applied to cells. You can edit the [Basic Table] style, but you can’t rename
or delete either [Basic Table] or [None].

Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
