140	Text height (real); override applied at the table entity level. There may be one entry for each cell type
170	Cell alignment (integer); override applied at the table entity level. There may be one entry for each cell type
63	Color value for cell background or for the vertical, left border of the table; override applied at the table entity level. There may be one entry for each cell type
64	Color value for cell content or for the horizontal, top border of the table; override applied at the table entity level. There may be one entry for each cell type
65	Color value for the horizontal, inside border lines; override applied at the table entity level
66	Color value for the horizontal, bottom border lines; override applied at the table entity level

302	Text string in a cell. If the string is shorter than 250 characters, all characters appear in code 302. If the string is longer than 250 characters, it is divided into chunks of 250 characters. The chunks are contained in one or more code 303 codes. If code 393 codes are used, the last group is a code 1 and is shorter than 250 characters. This value applies only to text-type cells and is repeated, 1 value per cell (from AutoCAD 2007)
303	Text string in a cell, in 250-character chunks; optional. This value applies only to text-type cells and is repeated, 302 value per cell (from AutoCAD 2007)

Group code 178 is a flag value for a virtual edge. A virtual edge is used when a grid line is shared by two cells. For example, if a table contains one row and two columns and it contains cell A and cell B, the central grid line contains the right edge of cell A and the left edge of cell B. One edge is real, and the other edge is virtual. The virtual edge points to the real edge; both edges have the same set of properties, including color, lineweight, and visibility.
