Exercise 4: Changing the Appearance of a Schedule
You can modify the appearance of a schedule table by changing the overall format of the table and the format of
individual components, such as columns, text, and lines. Two sets of parameters control the appearance of a schedule
table: schedule table properties and schedule table style. The schedule table properties control the overall format of the
schedule table, such as its shape and size. The schedule table style controls the format of individual components, such
as columns, text, lines, and color. In this exercise, you modify the schedule table properties to split the table into
sections. You modify the schedule table style to add and delete columns, modify the style and color of the text in the
body of the schedule, and change the color of lines.
IMPORTANT:
This exercise is dependent on the results of the previous exercises. If you did not complete the previous
