Default paragraph spacing in Word 2003 tables

Is there any way to make Word respect the settings in the table style?
No, not in Word 2003. If all you want is a spacing change, your method is
simplest. If you want other differences between the body text and table text,
do not specify font setting the table style and do create and apply paragraph
styles (for example, Table Text, Table Headings, etc.) to format your table.

My default table style, Table Grid, has Spacing After = 0 pt.

When I create a new table, it uses the Table Grid style but ignores the
Spacing After setting in that style and instead uses the setting of the
preceding paragraph, which is usually Normal style. Then I have to go into
Table Properties and reset the spacing to what it should have been in the
first place.

RonSD was telling us:
RonSD nous racontait que :

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines]

Which style are you using in that preceding paragraph, and why?
