Default Paste Table Formats

I really have no experience or expertise with table styles (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html for some reasons many
people avoid them), but it would appear that if you want more than one
heading row, you'll have to format them manually. Tagging an extra row as a
heading doesn't seem to change the formatting.

Hi Suzanne,

thanks a lot for that great hint. I didn't know about table styles before.
They work fine except one problem: Sometimes, I have more than one heading
row or colunm and I didn't find a way to extend the format form the first
heading row or column to a 2nd, 3rd, etc. Is there a way to "tell" the

table
style, how many heading rows and colums the table contains? Or can I flag
rows or columns as headers?

Regards
Christian

This would be a reasonable use of a table style.

Hi,

I made some settings to a Word table: background color
(Shading.BackgroundPatternColor), borders (Borders.LineStyle
/.LineWidth),
etc. After that, I have tried to paste the formats to a second table
using
the FormatPainter. Unfortunately, the mentioned format settings werde

not
pasted while other settings (e.g. alignment, font) where pasted
correctly.
Does anybody know how I can paste the mentioned formats to another

table?

Thanks in advance & best regards
Christian
