### 26.1.4 Overriding the default accessibility method

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 FrameMaker format, and to individual tables. You can even use wildcards to specify tables that are not explicitly grouped.

Use these settings to specify accessibility-method overrides:

[TableAccess]

; table ID = method list (overrides default in [Tables]); Can

; override [Tables]AccessMethod policy with NoAccess, Scope, or IDs.

For example:

[TableAccess]

ac254360=NoAccess

Group5=IDs

Format A=HCols1 HRows2 Scope

To override the default method for all tables for rows, columns, row groups, or column groups, use one of the row or column markup methods instead; see:

§27.2 Using the scope method to identify table cells

§27.3 Using the id/headers method to identify table cells

To override attributes at the cell level, use one of the table-cell markup methods instead; see:

§26.2.2 Using paragraph formats for table-cell attributes

§26.2.3 Assigning table-cell attribute values with dedicated formats

§26.2.4 Assigning table-cell attribute values with custom markers

Note: If you specify a default method for all tables (see §26.1.3 Specifying a default accessibility method), do not also use an override to apply the same method to an individual table; the result is duplicate attribute assignments. See §13.16.5 Avoiding redundant attribute assignments in tables.
