Unfortunately, many things are ignored in tables, and table styles in
particular seem to be an inadequately executed design concept. It is to be
hoped that a future version of Word will take table styles one step further
and allow users to specify styles (rather than just formatting) for specific
rows, columns, and cells.

Nothing. I expect this because Ctrl-Q removes paragraph formatting
applied by shortcut keys and menu commands, and I am using only styles

I found another "table" bug. Have you ever used "Don't add space
between paragraphs of the same style" (See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...353711033.aspx)? It
is a handy feature that you can use to create lists. Basically, you
create a style whose "style type" is paragraph, then you include
numbering settings to make this paragrpah behave like a list (bullets,
numbers). Under the Paragraph formatting for this style, you set a
"space before" and a "space after" and click on "Don't add space
between paragraphs of the same style". If you then create a list using
this style surrounded by regular paragraphs, you will get equal spacing
before and after the list, but no spacing between list elements:

This is the first paragraph
space before as defined in style
list item 1
list item 2
list item 3
space after as defined in style
This is the second paragraph

This all works great if you have this in the body of a doucment, but if
you have the same thing in a table cell, spacing apepars between the
list elements. Its as though the "Don't add space between paragraphs
of the same style" setting is being ignored

Thoughts?

Thanks
