Default Preserve table format after InsertDatabase method?

From VB6, I'm calling the InsertDatabase method on a Word doc to insert
an Access table into a Word table. When I do this directly in Word, I
can use \* mergeformat to prevent Word from changing my table's format.
However, I cannot figure out how to prevent this auto-formatting from
overriding my pre-set table formats when I do it in code.

I've also tried programmatically restoring my column widths, etc. after
the InsertDatabase call, but I get an error saying "The SetWidth method
or property is not available because some or all of the object does not
refer to a table".

Any help would be appreciated.
