Personal default for tables : Don't break rows over pages
I have tried to change my table defaults following the instructions in Word
Help, with limited success. New tables have my requested "Auto fit to contents" but none of my other changes for header rows and not breaking rows are there. Is there some "magic" sequence I should follow? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: All table styles except Table Normal can be modified to make this the default. -- Suzanne S.

When you modified the table style, did you check the box for "Add to

Personal default for tables : Don't break rows over pages
Yes, I checked that box. However, the changed style only worked in the
document that was open when I modified the style. When I opened a new document, the old style was used. I have attempted to open the normal.dot file, but so far no success. I can't access "C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates" because there's no folder called Application Data. Might the folder have another name? "Suzanne S.

Personal default for tables : Don't break rows over pages
On Windows XP systems, the Application Data folder is hidden. You have to
explicitly display (or search) hidden files and folders. Also, whatever style you have modified must be set as the default table style for the given template. -- Suzanne S.

Personal default for tables : Don't break rows over pages
Thanks for the tip on the hidden folder.
Based on my trial and error, it seems that you have to make each change separately, i.e. if you want to make more than one change to the style you have to make one change (e.g. don't allow rows to break across pages) , click on the "Add to template" box, click "OK," right click the element in the Styles Task Pane, click on "Set as Default Table Style" and then select the button to apply this style to all tables using the Normal template. Then you repeat the process for the next change, e.g. repeat the first row as the header on all pages. I would also STRONGLY suggest that you click on "Format" and select "Table Properties" to ensure that the change you want to make is available before you finalize the change. There seems to be a specific sequence you have to follow in order for the "Allow rows to break across pages" option to be active, but unfortunately I didn't note the sequence due to the many trials I made before I got it to work. Good luck. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: On Windows XP systems, the Application Data folder is hidden. You have to explicitly display (or search) hidden files and folders.

You've just summarized why I don't bother with table styles!
