Saving table format as a style
I am using MS-Word 2003 and have formatted different parts of a table with
different fonts, shading, and spacing. I would like to save all of my formatting to a "table style" so I can apply the same formatting to other tables by merely selecting the table style. Is this possible? If so, could someone kindly tell me the steps to do so? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Bob |

Saving table format as a style
You can save some types of formatting in a table style. The easiest way to
see which ones these are is to select one of the existing table styles in the Format | Style (or Table | AutoFormat) dialog, click Modify, and observe what the options are. Click Format in the Modify Style dialog to see what things can be changed. Note that these do NOT include paragraph styles. Beyond that, you can save a formatted table as an AutoText entry. When you insert it, it will always have the same number of columns and rows, which makes it less flexible than a table style but possibly less work in the long run. -- Suzanne S.
