<?tbrdef>
Description
This command specifies that a setting for a table cell should be applied to the rest of the row as a default property. Any cell command that occurs before the first return character at the start of a table will set a default for each cell of the table. The command <?tbrdef> takes the current characteristics of a cell and applies these characteristics to the rest of the row.
Syntax
Additional Information
It is possible to override the <?tbrdef> command and change the properties of an individual cell, by entering the cell override commands after the <?tbrdef> command.
* 
Column commands take preference over the row default. The row default will only be used if the column default has not been specified. For example, if <?tbcolpref> has been used a whole row's styles can only be overridden by overriding each column in turn or using the <?tbrdefx> command.
The <tbcolspec> command is incompatible with <?tbrdef> and <?tbrdefx> as every cell becomes a column property.
