Hi Pam,
I've actually been asked by a client this question in relation to mailing
labels! She was accustomed to the vertical centre alignment in Office 2003,
and wants to know if she can set this for the labels in Office 2007.
However, I was trying it yesterday, and did edit it in the Normal template.
I found it worked for a default table, but still not in the mailing labels.
Here were my steps:
- inserted a table
- right-clicked in the table styles area, and clicked on New Table Style
- changed the cell alignment (and font, just for testing)
- selected New documents based on this template
- right-clicked the new style in the table styles area
- selected Set as Default
- selected All documents based on the Normal.dotm template
I even then opened the Normal template and did it all over again!
As I said, it has worked for the standard table insertion, but has had no
impact on the mailing labels. Have I done something wrong?
Thanks,
Jane

Yes, but I would hesitate to do that because of possible effects on other
features such as mailing labels. Making it the default in a template that
you use for a specific type of document have fewer potential problems.

Thanks Pam. Can I just check: if I want it used as the default for all
documents, do I need to change the Normal template?
Thanks,

Yes, by setting the alignments in a table style and then making that table
style the default for docs using a particular template.
