The default is to have a normal font. Unlike the standard table. I can’t change it. I’ve tried the HTML trick but it gets ignored.

Can I please set the font/style like I can with the normal table control?

Just what the alert summary table needs - more properties! Just kidding - sure we can add this, no problem.

Always room for more properties! That’s why there is a scroll bar!

Actually, I’d be happy if it defaulted to bold like a normal table. Understanding HTML would be a bonus.

It looks to me like HTML formatting does work. What am I missing?

Thanks Al
