Table style with paragraph style
(Word 2003 question--likely applies to other versions.)
When I create a table, which is based on a Table Style, the text in the table does not contain any styles. ASAIK, it is just formatted according to the font and paragraph settings defined in the table style. I would like to have the text in my tables formatted with a Paragraph style, so that when I create a table, the text is not only formatted as defined in the table style, but formatted according to an actual Paragraph style. The advantage I see with this is that if I want to globally change some aspect of the table text, rather than modify the various Table styles I use, I can just modify a single Paragraph style. What I am currently doing is creating the tables, which have no Paragraph styles, then selecting the table and applying a Paragraph style to all the text. Is there any way to automate that by creating a Table style with an associated Paragraph style applied? |

Table style with paragraph style
I also prefer to use my own paragraph styles for table text. I don't know of
a way to apply them along with the table styles. You should be able to write a macro to apply the style to all tables in a document.

Table style with paragraph style
No macro is needed. Create an example table with the desired formatting,
apply paragraph styles to cells, and then create an AutoText entry. In the future, whenever you want to create that kind of table, insert the AutoText. For more on AutoText, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "PamC via OfficeKB.com" wrote in message news:835d8c8f035de@uwe...

Table style with paragraph style
I dont see how AutoText can create a table. Are you referring to Tools
AutoCorrect Options AutoText in Word 2003? Isnt this a simple €śtype and replace€ť function for text only? But, thank you, I did get my answer to the question €ścan Table styles incorporate Paragraph styles€ť €“ no. "Stefan Blom" wrote: No macro is needed.
