Here is the "repaired" table, newly colored and with borders showing (even in blue!)
Borderline color choice is a bit tricky, because for unknown reasons this attribute line only occurs in the attribute list if you select "All" attributes and not just the usual "Common" attributes
Color selection was made with rows and columns only. The grid shows everywhere if you fill empty cells with returns.

You may be unsatisfied because the alignment of all blocks is not to the utmost left. There is on
Ther is one trick you can use to change that: Give one of the leftmost cells "width = 100%". This is what it will look like

OK - but now the table is too large and the "Group" column is too small.
So define the table size by, e.g. "table width = 700 pixels" and reduce the cell size to 70%. In addition, set "cell padding = 10" to make it look a bit less cramped. The result is shown below.
