Default table style takes the font settings from my normal style rather than my theme style

Good point, but I think it could be even more straightforward. Why not have
table styles apply fonts correctly no matter the settings of the Normal
style and the Manage Styles dialog box?

By the way, have you tested if table styles now work better with *paragraph*
styles applied to text in the cells (another issue that Shauna discusses in
her article)?

If the document's body font and line spacing are set in the manage styles

set defaults tab and if the normal paragraph style is not modified, table
style fonts work as expected. That's pretty straightforward.

And note that to take advantage of document themes and style sets, you
also
need to leave the normal paragraph style unmodified (empty).

When you specify settings in the normal style (font, line spacing,
etc.),
normal may not change when you change the theme or the style set, both

under the Set Defaults tab in the Manage Styles dialogue. I read
somewhere that this would solve problems like this. But apparently not.
