I'm creating documents much like invoices, pulling the "invoice-lines" from
Access into a Word Table via Mailmerge, using the Database-field-code in Word.

I need a custom format for the table - eg 8 point Arial font not the
12-point Times Roman default on the standard Word Table (auto)formats. And
need to be able to customise the column widths.

I added a user-defined Table-format in Word, but can't find how to make the
Database field-code use that (via the \l switch).

Incidentally I can't find anywhere that explains which \l switch-value
selects which of the standard Word table-autoformats .. had to work out by
trial and error, and switch values over 42 cause Word to crash!

Any other way of customising the table would be fine also.

Many thanks
