Hii My Dear Community!

I’m wondering whether creating tables using the Microsoft word Template allows for Conditional formatting.

e.g. the `Results` column in my table containing Positive/Inconclusive/Negative- and I want the row to be yellow/red based on that.

Conditional Formatting of tables is Available in Word, question is whether the formatting carries over when creating templates with Make

Thanks!

Hello 👋🏾

Unfortunately, the “_ **Microsoft Word Templates** _” modules do not support formatting of any kind.  
They support only plain text with no HTML characters/items.

As far as I know, they do not use Microsoft API but a different tool.

  
It then might be better to use "\*\*\*Google Docs\*\*\*" modules where you can create new documents (tables) using HTML code (which should support such formatting).   
You could then export the Google documents from Google Drive using the built-in "convert" feature below.

[This topic](https://community.make.com/t/how-to-make-html-tables-from-data-records/4941) might also help create dynamic HTML tables for document creation.

I hope it helps.
