I'm moving a huge number of tables into lyx. These tables are mostly normal with a row header, sometimes with a column header. A few have special background shading in the header to separate visually the type of the data.

I've read the embedded objects guide and find it astonishing that to deal with all the tables I would have to go one by one carefully modifying each table's cell background and font style (usually bold).

I was expecting that lyx (or latex) would have something similar to html css style sheets were you could specify "first row and column are headers, rest are normal", and somewhere in the preamble specify how to make these headers look without having to deal with each table and cell on a one by one basis.

Is this mass style tweaking possible?

Right now I've imported an RTF document with the tables and each has a lot of ERT which will be painful to change later.
