While producing the full book of Getting Started with OOo, I used the
BandIt macro to update the tables. BandIt causes the table heading row
to have a bright blue background to match the headings in the document.
I have some problems with using this color on tables.
(1) I find the color a bit too dark to easily read the text of the table
headings.
(2) When printed in black and white, the color is a bit too dark.
(3) When the files are reused for LibO, the color must be changed. This
is easy, but still it's extra work.
For these reasons, I suggest that for the other books we use the light
gray background that I had previously for the heading row, even though
that is not as attractive in the color PDF.
BTW, I have not yet used BandIt on the individual chapter files.

I will deliver a new version sometime tomorrow, with banding, borders
and heading all gray. Also the banding will start with white for tables
without headers. (Note: the "repeat headers" flag is frequently set,
even for tables without headers. The setting is right in the Table menu,
as a check/uncheck option.)
Note that if the table breaks over a page boundary, the border lines
will be displayed only for the bottom or last part of the table. (OO.o
bug.)

Headings gray, borders black, no-headings handled.
