    Hello,

    I can't see a way of doing this in the docs so I thought I would check. Is there any way of targeting specific cells in an existing table and changing their background color?  Because of the way the project I have been working on has been setup it will be easier and quicker to do it this way rather than dynamically building a table from scratch.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    DOCXCustomizer, available in Premium licenses, allows changing styles on-the-fly. For example to set custom cell backgroundcolors.

    The replaceTableVariable method allows to add new rows and replace placeholders in it.

    To use background colors, they must be already set it in the template or create the table from scratch (using addTable, embedHtml or WordFragments).

    Regards.
