Table style refers to table's border styles, text's font properties, background color. It is mainly decided by styles.xml from Office Open XML.

Assume there is styles.xml from docx as below: <w:style w:type="table" w:styleId="DarkList-Accent2"> <w:tcPr> <w:shd w:val="clear" w:color="auto" w:fill="C0504D" w:themeFill="accent2"/> </w:tcPr> # … <w:tblStylePr w:type="firstRow"> <w:pPr> <w:spacing w:before="0" w:after="0" w:line="240" w:lineRule="auto"/> </w:pPr> <w:rPr> <w:b/> <w:bCs/> <w:color w:val="FFFFFF" w:themeColor="background1"/> </w:rPr> <w:tblPr/> <w:tcPr> <w:tcBorders> <w:top w:val="single" w:sz="18" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/> <w:left w:val="nil"/> <w:bottom w:val="single" w:sz="18" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/> <w:right w:val="nil"/> <w:insideH w:val="nil"/> <w:insideV w:val="nil"/> </w:tcBorders> <w:shd w:val="clear" w:color="auto" w:fill="4BACC6" w:themeFill="accent5"/> </w:tcPr> </w:tblStylePr> </w:style>

Background Color

Include cell/row/table's background color.

wholeTable

The w:tcPr under w:style is applied for whole table. So, the background color of whole table should be applied with fill color "C0504D" and its theme should be "accent2".

<w:style w:type="table" w:styleId="DarkList-Accent2"> <w:tcPr> <w:shd w:val="clear" w:color="auto" w:fill="C0504D" w:themeFill="accent2"/> </w:tcPr> </w:style>

firstRow and others

For first row of table, below firstRow tblStylePr will be applied with fill color "4BACC6" and its theme should be "accent5". It will overwrite related color and theme from whole table mentioned above.

<w:tblStylePr w:type="firstRow"> # … <w:tcPr> # … <w:shd w:val="clear" w:color="auto" w:fill="4BACC6" w:themeFill="accent5"/> </w:tcPr> </w:tblStylePr>

There can be also up to 12 types of tblStyle here. They are:

<a href="#sec-1">1 firstRow #first row</a>
<a href="#sec-2">2 lastRow #last row</a>
<a href="#sec-3">3 firstCol #first column</a>
<a href="#sec-4">4 lastCol #last column</a>
<a href="#sec-5">5 band1Vert #odd column</a>
<a href="#sec-6">6 band2Vert #even column</a>
<a href="#sec-7">7 band1Horz #odd row</a>
<a href="#sec-8">8 band2Horz #even row</a>
<a href="#sec-9">9 neCell #last cell in first row</a>
<a href="#sec-10">10 nwCell #first cell in first row</a>
<a href="#sec-11">11 seCell #last cell in last row</a>
<a href="#sec-12">12 swCell #first cell in last row</a>
<a href="#sec-13">13 firstRow</a>
<a href="#sec-14">14 lastRow</a>
<a href="#sec-15">15 firstCol</a>
<a href="#sec-16">16 lastCol</a>
<a href="#sec-17">17 band1Vert</a>
<a href="#sec-18">18 band2Vert</a>
<a href="#sec-19">19 band1Horz</a>
<a href="#sec-20">20 band2Horz</a>

1 firstRow #first row

2 lastRow #last row

3 firstCol #first column

4 lastCol #last column

5 band1Vert #odd column

6 band2Vert #even column

7 band1Horz #odd row

8 band2Horz #even row

9 neCell #last cell in first row

10 nwCell #first cell in first row

11 seCell #last cell in last row

12 swCell #first cell in last row

tblLook and cnfStyle

With above basic knowledge, we now can get further. For example, for the first cell in first row, which tblStyle should take effect, firstRow, firstCol, nwCell? Which one has highest priority? The answer is it depends on the tblLook of whole table, cnfStyle of the row and the cell.

Take below cell in a table from document.xml for example:

<w:tbl> <w:tblPr> # … <w:tblLook w:val="04A0" w:firstRow="1" w:lastRow="0" w:firstColumn="1" w:lastColumn="0" w:noHBand="0" w:noVBand="1"/> </w:tblPr> <w:tr w:rsidR="001662F7" w:rsidTr="00C76FCB"> <w:trPr> <w:cnfStyle w:val="100000000000" w:firstRow="1" w:lastRow="0" w:firstColumn="0" w:lastColumn="0" w:oddVBand="0" w:evenVBand="0" w:oddHBand="0" w:evenHBand="0" w:firstRowFirstColumn="0" w:firstRowLastColumn="0" w:lastRowFirstColumn="0" w:lastRowLastColumn="0"/> </w:trPr> <w:tc> <w:tcPr> <w:cnfStyle w:val="001000000100" w:firstRow="0" w:lastRow="0" w:firstColumn="1" w:lastColumn="0" w:oddVBand="0" w:evenVBand="0" w:oddHBand="0" w:evenHBand="0" w:firstRowFirstColumn="1" w:firstRowLastColumn="0" w:lastRowFirstColumn="0" w:lastRowLastColumn="0"/> <w:tcW w:w="4261" w:type="dxa"/> </w:tcPr> # … </w:tc> </w:tr> </w:tbl>

Based on description from <a href="#Office-Open-XML">Office Open XML</a>, tblLook decides whether following tblStyle can be applied on table or not:

13 firstRow

14 lastRow

15 firstCol

16 lastCol

17 band1Vert

18 band2Vert

19 band1Horz

20 band2Horz

That means, even there is firstRow tblStyle exisiting in styles.xml, if tblLook forbids using firstRow, you should not expect to apply it on the row.

Font Properties

Including font size, bold, italic, color, strike-through, underline, and so on.

Border Styles

Including border's style, color, and so on.
