let doc = Api.GetDocument();
let tableStyle = doc.CreateStyle("CustomTableStyle", "table");
tableStyle.SetBasedOn(doc.GetStyle("Bordered"));
let table = Api.CreateTable(3, 3);
table.SetWidth("percent", 100);
table.SetStyle(tableStyle);
table.GetCell(0, 0).GetContent().GetElement(0).AddText("Cell 1. This cell is in the first row.");
doc.Push(table);

let cell = table.GetCell(0, 0);
let byKeyword = cell.Search("Cell");
byKeyword[1].SetBold(true);

let byRegExp = cell.Search(/cell/gi);
for (let index = 0; index < byRegExp.length; index++)
	byRegExp[index].SetBold(true);
