20.1.4.2.11 firstCol

This element defines the cell formatting which can be applied to the first column of the table.

[Example:

Consider the following example of first column formatting within DrawingML:

<firstCol>
  <tcTxStyle b="on">
    <fontRef idx="minor">
      <scrgbClr r="0" g="0" b="0"/>
    </fontRef>
    <schemeClr val="lt1"/>
  </tcTxStyle>
  <tcStyle>
    <tcBdr/>
    <fill>
      <solidFill>
        <schemeClr val="accent1"/>
      </solidFill>
    </fill>
  </tcStyle>
</firstCol>

In this example, we define the first column cell fills to be accent 1 along with the text properties to be bold when first column formatting is enabled through the user interface. end example]
