How do I select a table style for table cells in pages?
Text from the clipboard can be pasted without its original formatting.

To do so:


Select the cell you wish to paste information to
From the Menu Edit > Paste and Match Style [ ⌥⇧⌘V ]


This will preserve the styling in the table, regardless of the style from the source copied from.

This will save you from having to try to restore the original table's formatting.



If you've already copy/pasted everything without regarding the style then you can create a new table and copy/paste all the elements into it using the "Paste and Match Style" method described above.

You may have to resize the table before or afterwards (if you create a smaller table then the size is adjusted automatically to the right number of rows and columns).
