Hi Coder,

Not that it's helped me with this
one particular table where I want the left column bolded (and
right-justified).

It's possible that this particular table's structure has been
damaged. Try selecting it, then Table/Convert/Table to text.
Then convert the text back to a table (don't UNDO, of course)
and see if things work any better.

Also, be sure to Ctrl+Spacebar and Ctrl+Q over the selection to
make sure no stray character or paragraph formatting is
interfering.
