Tip when working with a table cell and styling
When working with a table and a cell requires styling such as background color etc, the Text Box control can be used to apply styling or set other properties which will in turn apply to the cell. In the example below the Text Box control's width is set to 100%, it is configured as Read-Only and styling is applied. All of these properties are applied to the cell.
