In Tables, how can I change a default setting?
Yes, I guess you're right that it's only in the Styles dropdown. I haven't
even tried to do much with style visibility in Word 2007; I'm still struggling with it in Word 2003. I'm working in some documents where, even if you check the box for "Show Headings 1-3," they aren't displayed unless you explicitly check them. And I could have sworn there was an option to display styles after they'd been used if you had "Styles in use" selected (but I guess I'm thinking of 2007, where there is also the option to show the next heading level after you use a given one). I find it extremely frustrating to try to clear out unused styles and then find all the styles I want unavailable as well! I guess I'm just not thinking clearly about what I clear out. -- Suzanne S.

Ahh, are you referring to using the 'Show Styles(Classic Gallery)' choice added to the QAT in this case rather than the Styles pane? When I start Word 2007 in safe mode or if I rename Normal.dotM and restart Word to create a new one I don't have any table styles listed in the Styles Pane. In Table Tools=Design=Table Styles, 98 'themed' table styles plus Table grid (classic) show there, while on the Quick Access Toolbar if the Show Styles (classic) drop down has been added to the QAT, the styles from both of the locations, above, show there. From Home=Styles=Style Launcher=[Manage Styles] the 35 legacy/classic (prior version) Table styles show as 'Hide until used' and can't be selected to 'show', even with 'Select All'='Show (which makes them a bit tough to 'use'0 while the themed ones that show in the Table Styles gallery can't be set to 'hide'. Perhaps with a macro. Perhaps I should have had coffee before looking at this g. [FWIW, the original Feb 2007 thread was asking how to set a default table style and to turn off [ ] Allow row to break across pages' so it was no longer the default] =============== "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... FWIW, I find that in a new Blank Document based on default Normal.dotm, the Styles panel *does* show all the table styles (though I'd really prefer it didn't). I've used Manage Styles to change this in other templates, but I try to keep Normal as pristine as possible so I know what "default" is. -- Suzanne S.
