Yes, apologies, you are right, I just doublechecked this again. Applying a
predefined table style does put the text into tables. I've not messed with
these myself, but the impression I get from Suzanne, etc (if I remember
correctly) is that Table Styles are not quite ready for prime time. I think
they were a new feature in 2002 or 2003.

My version (MacWord 2004) does not appear to let me create a table style
myself, from scratch, though it has preset ones. Where is the option in
your version, out of curiosity?

Did any of the predefined table styles match your needs?

Thank-you so very much - now I understand. I spent a long time learning
about styles in the Word training section and for some of the formatting,
they will definitely be easier. I thought I must be doing something wrong,
because styles does have a table option. Thanks again.
