Default Custom Table Auto Format not working properly - bold headings.

Hi everybody,

I've created an Auto Format style for a table an am using it to format
existing tables. The trouble is that there is always one or two settings
that will not get applied to the table - for example, if the header row is
supposed to be bold and shaded, it will come up only shaded, but not bold.
Or this will work and cell alignment is not going to be coorectly applied
across the table. I've obviously tried replying the style couple of times
(like if you have to apply style twice to a paragraph if you have two
different styles within it), but to no avail. I've checked all my settings
and made sure my style is defined coorectly. This problem happens with other
styles as well.

It's almost like some of the settings worked as switches - if the first row
was bold before the change, and the style makes it bold it will become
normal, if it was normal it will become bold. If I undefine bold, then it
keeps the setting. Very strange and frustrating. The version 2003, no sp or
updates.

Second of the problems is the alignment which i can't get to work at all in
some cases.

Thanks for reading this.

Regards,

R.
