Here is a trick for new tables:
Before inserting a table assign your table text style to a paragraph where
you placed you cursor for inserting a new table; and then insert table,
assign table style (make sure you dont define font characteristics when
creating table style so it can use the defaults)

Hi Mary

I think the short answer is no. I, too, would prefer to define a table style
in terms of paragraph styles. But it can't be done.

Hope this helps.

I'm using Word 2002. I've created some new table styles and want them to
include a certain text style as well. I am not finding that option. Right
now, I am inserting a table, then applying my table style, then applying
the
text style. Can I make this just one step?
