It would be really helpful if it was possible to design a table style that uses a particular paragraph style for each column.

For example, I currently build a catalog with multiple tables with either 3 or 4 columns. Column 1 is an item number that, column 2 is a product name, column 3 is the price, and column 4 is the price with discount in the case there's a promo. Each of those columns has a paragraph style defined (actually two, one with white text, one with black). I also already have a table style built based on if the table will be on a darker background, one if it'll be on a lighter background.

Currently, for a new table, or new rows to an old table, I need to use the table style to define the row shading, then I need to highlight each column and select the correct paragraph style, and then set the text box to either screen or multiply.

It would be cool if there was a dialogue box similar to the way the Table of Contents is set up, where there is a a place to assign a paragraph style to each column, and maybe to header or footer columns so that I can just select the dark or light Table Style, and it's all done. Possibly, just expand the "Left Column" and "Right Column" in the "Cell Styles" section of the "Table Style Options" dialogue to just select a numbered column instead of just being able to assign the first and last column.
