table style takes the font settings from my normal style ratherthan my theme style
When you specify settings in the normal style (font, line spacing, etc.),
normal may not change when you change the theme or the style set, both of which change the doc defaults. Also, settings in normal override settings in table styles unless normal is "empty" (no font and line spacing specified). An empty normal looks something like this: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, Left, Line spacing: single, Widow/Orphan control, Style: Quick Style. Ms Kelly's page is 4 or 5 years old. I agreed with her advice until 2 years ago when I learned how to use tables styles effectively in W2003. Now that they are improved in W2007 and the Microsoft developer's have explained a bit about how the styles work and interact, I'm hoping she will revisit table styles issues. Pam Officegirl wrote: Thanks for the answer. The article applies to Word 2002 and 2003. I had heard that the reason for this problem is that Word had Times New Roman set as a default style and there was nothing you could do to change that. And with Word 2007 you can set your own default style under the Set Defaults tab in the Manage Styles dialogue. I read somewhere that this would solve problems like this. But apparently not. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ayout/200905/1 |
