Both the table cell borders and text are controlled by the Letter system color. You can change the Letter system color to blue and once your table cells are filled in select the table and right mouse click>text style and change the text color. If the cell is blank or you delete the contents of a cell the text color will default to blue.


A second way to do way to do what you want is change the Letter system color to white and select Format>Line Sytle>Modify Lines and select the table cell lines and change the color.

I got it done

one more thing can we automate this by setting some options in .dtl file or .pro file



if it can be done then we can do this and keep in the format and call these formats.



I know u will be feeling that i am a bit lazy for doing that work also.

You can control the letter color by setting the system_letter_color option in the config.pro file. You can also create a system colors file. This will allow you to set the colors found in system colors dialog box which includes the Letter color. In your config.pro file you set the option system_colors_file to the *.scl you created.


For the table cell borders you can create the table inyour format file and change the color using the the Format>Line Style. You can also save the table to a file after you have set the border color. You can also change the table border color in the drawing template file.
