table style takes the font settings from my normal style rather thanmy theme style
I'm creating a template where I want all objects, charts and tables to
be in Verdana, but I want my headings AND my normal style to be in Georgia. I'm using Word 2007 and I created a theme where I said I want headings to be in Georgia and my body text in Verdana. This works partially. In my charts I get Verdana. It's 10 points although I stated that I want 8 points on the "Set Defaults"-tab in the Manage Styles box. But in my tables I can't for the life of me achieve Verdana! It seems that most tables are based on a Table Normal, and I guess that gets its font from the Normal Style. I try to base my style on something else but nothing works. Please help me. How do I get Verdana in my table style? |

Font settings and table styles don't mix, unfortunately. See

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. |

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.

Although it may work better, it is still confusing, and I see no reason why
font formatting in table cells couldn't be more straightforward. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pam Caswell via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:96135b9ca3947@uwe...

If the document's body font and line spacing are set in the manage styles
set defaults tab and if the normal paragraph style is not modified, table style fonts work as expected. That's pretty straightforward. And note that to take advantage of document themes and style sets, you also need to leave the normal paragraph style unmodified (empty).
