Notes:
Changing the style of the default table means that every table in the template will be changed, unless the table carries any custom styles.
Hiding table border
You can hide the border table occasionally without removing the border from the default style, by applying custom style into a specific table.
Click to the table you want to hide the border. Select the Table element on the breadcrumbs
On the right pane, click Styles
Click +Add
Select Borders none
Hiding table border is often used to create column structure for the document.
