Default How do I set up default paragraphs in tables

Table styles were new in Word 2002. Word 2000 offered Table AutoFormats, and
you could select your default (favorite) one, but Word 2002 allowed you to
actually define a specific AutoFormat, which includes formatting for top and
left rows, first cell, last cell, striping, etc. But see

Stefan;
What is "table styles"? I use tables all the time (make my own). Is this
something new in 2007? I am still struggling to find everything in the

2007
version.

Are you using table styles? Note that you'll probably find it easier to
format the text of table cells by applying the appropriate *paragraph*
styles to text.

My text disappeares at the end of a cell within Tables. The fix is to

to
to
Paragraphs and re-set the insert to 0". For some reason it is

defaulted
to
an indent. I've tried hitting the DEFAULT button after resetting to

0",
but
it never "defaults." I have to reset it again and again as I work

through
the table (sometimes, but not always, I'm able to highlight a group

and
set
it to 0" and it works).

Help. I have Office 2007. Had the same problem with Office 2003.
