### 36.4 Overriding default table-cell settings

You can use settings in the [TableAccess] section to override, for selected tables, the corresponding [Tables] default settings; everything you can set in [TableAccess] has a document-wide default in the [Tables] section.

You can specify overrides that apply to table groups, to tables of a certain format, and to individual tables. You can even use wildcards to specify tables that are not explicitly grouped.

You can negate a default setting by prefixing any of the following keywords with No:

    ColIDs
    ColGroupIDs
    ColSpanIDs
    RowIDs
    RowGroupIDs
    RowSpanIDs
    ScopeCol
    ScopeColGroup
    ScopeRow
    ScopeRowGroup

For example:

    [TableAccess]
    ; table ID = method list (overrides default in [Tables]) of
    ;  ColIDs, RowIDs, ColSpanIDs, RowSpanIDs, ScopeCol, ScopeColGroup,
    ;  ScopeRow, ScopeRowGroup, ColGroupIDs, RowGroupIDs,
    ;  or any prefixed with No, such as NoColIDs.
    aa123456=ColIDs NoRowIDs
    group5=ScopeColGroup
    Format A=RowSpanIDs NoColIDs
