    How to manipulate/refer to a layout table, cell or text?

    I usually use sections and then place a table in it for layout purposes. I can't find a way to reference that table. I also found I can type right on the table making a de facto label. However, just like with the table, I can find any way to refer to it so I can change the text and/or color. Is there a way to reference a layout table or cell or the text in such a cell? I've been putting a text box into a cell, which I can then control the font and background colors but 1) Even making the cell and textbox margins/padding 0 I can't get the textbox to completely fill the cell and 2) as above, I can't find a way to change the cell's border.

     It's not possible to manipulate layout tables and static text at runtime. When you need to manipulate tables and text, I recommend using Section controls and Calculated Value boxes. It should be possible to get a Calculated Value box to fill its enclosing cell.
