Default How does Word apply table styles?

Hi ?B?RWxsaW5veg==?=,

Any chance the cursor was in a paragraph formatted with that style when the
table was created?

I just had a document that was applying a bullet to all the text in a table
no matter how much I tried to clear the formatting (using Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+Space,
choosing the options from the Formatting panel, etc, etc).

When I looked at the Reveal Formatting panel, the table style was somehow
set to Bullet 2 (a user-defined, second level bullet style based on Bullet 1,
in turn based on no style).

When I reapplied Table Normal as the underlying style for all the tables,
the bullets went away. I was just wondering how it got applied as the
underlying style in the first place, especially considering you couldn't pick
it from a list of 'All available table styles'.
