How to copy and apply table formatting in Next Gen?

Request Demo

Is there a way to copy and apply table formatting in next gen? This was a function in wdesk classic that saved a lot of time but I don't see it in next gen.

Thanks

    Hi James!

    When you copy the entirety of a table and then paste into a new table, from the clipboard there should be options to Paste Values & Formulas (or Paste Values Only), and also options to Apply Formatting and Apply Column Width. These should help bring over the same look and style of the copied table.

    We do have some requests to just copy and apply table columns/row settings without needing to paste any other data. If you're interested in that enhancement, let me know and I can add you as a requestor there.

    In the meantime, let me know if there's another setting that I've missed the mark on or you have questions on the above. Thanks for your contributions. Cheers!

    Please add me as a requestor as well for the ability to just copy and apply table columns/rows settings without needing to paste any other data.   We have hundreds of documents and sometimes the tables need to be adjusted for row heights as the links may take up more space when the source gets updated.  It was nice to copy the formatting of a table and apply it to another table in another document in the old Classic version.  We used this quite frequently.  Now we've lost that ability and it takes a large amount of resources to make those small formatting changes.
