Rows.css losing shading when text is bolded

Post by sperkins »

Hello geniuses,
I am using the Rows.css table stylesheet for my tables, and I cannot figure out how to bold the text in the left column without losing the shading and borders in those cells.

[*]First I tried applying bold locally, but the shading and border lines disappeared. I cleared the formatting.
[*]Then I created a td.Bold tag and applied it, but again, I lose the shading and borders for the column. Cleared formatting.
[*] Next, in addition to a Header row, I specified a Column Style called Leftcolhead and designated the Font weight as bold.
However, the text in this column is p.table_body (from my master style sheet) and it doesn't reflect the column style (but the shading is intact.

What do you recommend for creating an optional bolded left column style in the Rows stylesheet? How do I get the p.table_body style to reflect the column style?
Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to share that I worked out the Rows.css bolded left column conundrum.
From the Table style editor Columns tab, I created a Custom column called Leftcolhead, set the separator for the same border line as the rest of the table, and selected Bold from the Font menu. Looks like that did it :P

I have 6,118 error message in tables of 200 rows each. The fact that I don't have to color each one individually and can just click and apply rows.css to the whole table at once to shade it almost makes me giddy!
