I want to make a whole Column in a table bold?

Jack Shovelton October 22, 2018

When I highlight a whole Column in the table, I go to set it as bold but only does the first highlighted field?

Jack,

Can you please take a screenshot of your issue? I'll try to recreate it.

Jack and I are both having this same issue, below is an example, only the top highlighted cell (not the header) is changed to bold after highlighting the column entries - so Router in this example, when would expect, Router, Switch, Switch and MFP to be bold.

Tom/Jack,

Only highlight the content and not the column. It should work.

As a work around, highlight and bolden each individual cell.

Okay, that is what we have been doing, I was hoping there was an easier way to do this......

This seemed to work for me.

  • Running Server 6.6.1
  • Highlighted column content from top to bottom, then ctrl + B

Is this a Confluence Cloud issue?

In the past, table column highlighting plus formatting would work in FireFox but not in Chrome. So always try another browser to ensure it is not a browser issue.

Thanks for the reply Bill, we have tried IE, Edge, Firefox and Chrome

I see in another reply, you said you were on Cloud? You may want to change your tag from Cloud rather than server.
