Do table styles work?
I am trying to use the new table styles feature in Word in a template.
However, I cannot get table styles to work properly, especially in regard to applying an indent to an entire table. Do table styles actually work, or is this new feature too buggy/unstable to use? |

Hi
I think one of the problems with Table Styles is that Microsoft hasn't documented how they are supposed to work, and in particular, there is no documentation on how Table Styles work with Paragraph and Character styles. So Table Styles may work well, which is to say they may do what they were designed to do. But MS hasn't documented what they were supposed to do, and users can't therefore work out what is buggy and what is not. It's a pity, because table styles should be very useful. Hope this helps.

Hi ?B?SyBaYW55?=,
I am trying to use the new table styles feature in Word in a template. However, I cannot get table styles to work properly, especially in regard to applying an indent to an entire table. Do table styles actually work, or is this new feature too buggy/unstable to use? They work, but they don't necessarily do everything we might wish or expect. Basically, a TableStyle is a user-defined Table AutoFormat, with a couple of features added on. As a quick test, I can see what you mean about the indent. BUT if I go back and change it again, it does seem to stick.
