Manager - changing table style for word publications Question: When I create a Word publication I -- KA-01003

Question:
When I create a Word publication I would like to have the tables in a different style; how can I set this?

Answer: Copy the .dotm file from the Mavim online environment to your own environment (see https://my.mavim.com/en-US/knowledge-base/article/KA-01594 ).
Open the .dotm file on your own environment and create an empty table via Insert-Table:

After the table has been added; the menu option 'Table Designs' will appear. The front ones are the custom tables for Mavim;
MavimTableField concerns the tables for the Fields

Right-click on one of these tables and choose 'Modify Table Style'

Select the desired style behind 'Style based on' and click OK.

If necessary; also adjust other tables in this way and then remove the previously empty table from the .dotm file. Save the .dotm file (as a .dotm file under the same name)
When this is done; click on the gray slide-out bar at the top center of the screen in Mavim and choose File Transfer - Upload

Here you select the modified .dotm file which will then appear again in the Mavim Cloud on TempDisk. In Mavim; go to the menu option: Edit – Couple topic with – File
So that the Explorer screen is displayed; drag the file to the appropriate folder on S:\Mavim\Wordthemes\.. (Make sure the name of the modified .dotm file is the same as the original name and overwrite the old file). You can then create a Word publication with the changed settings.
