Default Building block error

I use building blocks. One of then blocks, containing a table with fixed text
Univers 8 right aligned, messes up these font and align settings when I
'normally' save the doc (as a Word 97-2003 doc). The font is reset to the
standard Univers 10 font and ailgn is back to left.

I can only save it properly if I first select the table column and change
the font first to anything else than 8 and then back to 8 again and the align
to anything but right and than back to right again. This way the right
settings are saved.

I have to do this anytime I save the document. For about 30 document that is
quite some time not asked for.

Default Building block error

I believe the problem is with the table, or the table style, not with the
building block. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html.

It certainly has the same strange behaviour, allthough I don't willingly use
Table Styles.

Each table has a table style applied in Word 2002 and later.
