Yes, you can do this in both W2003 and W2007.

Style / Style Type: Table
Yes, I can. Sorry for the delay. I was working.
With the cursor in a table, create and name a new table style based on table grid. In the Create new style from formatting dialog, choose First column (Left column in W2003) and select one of the Left align icons (with top, center, or vertical alignment). The choose Last column (Right column in W2003) and select one of the Right align icons (with top, center, or vertical alignment). If you prefer to avoid the align icons, use the format paragraph dialog (Format Paragraph Alignment while still in the Create new style from formatting dialog) and then choose left or right from the dropdown list as appropriate. You can apply the style by selecting the whole table and applying your new style ---from the styles pane in W2003 and from the table gallery on the table design ribbon in W2007. So you see it is possible. This style work very well if you have lots of tables that are all very similar. But setting font characteristics in a table style can lead to unexpected results in the table when you apply other formatting--either manually or through styles. Because of this I prefer to use table style settings for the grid, shading, internal margins (padding), banding, and such; I use paragraph styles for table text; and I manually format column alignments. Table styles are very powerful and can be a great time saver. But you'll need to figure out the best features to use for your documents. HTH, PamC Donna wrote: Hi Pam.
