Re: [libreoffice-users] [LibreOffice Writer] Table with alternat[]e row color

Thank you Andrew. That looks like it's a full answer to the question. I have learned something from 
this. I might not use it often but I now have it in my bag of tools and who knows ....

No problem, especially for this type of question :-)

Yeah, sorry about that. What this is doing is setting the first row to 
use the paragraph style named "OOoTableHeader". I don't know if you have 
seen any of my documents, but it is how I format my text tables in 
general. You can comment out that line, or, change "OOoTableHeader" to 
be the paragraph style that you want to use.

There is another line below it

SetParStyle(oCell.getText(), "OOoTableText")

This sets all of the other lines to use the paragraph style 
"OOoTableText", which is probably a paragraph style that you do not have 
if you do not write documentation for LibreOffice.

Comment out these two lines by placing a single quote before them or 
the text REM as follows:

'SetParStyle(oCell.getText(), "OOoTableText")
REM SetParStyle(oCell.getText(), "OOoTableText")
