table defaults?
In Word 2007, after inserting a table with a header row with special fill
color and lines, every time I insert another table it defaults to that header row style previously made. How can I stop that type of default? |

table defaults?
I sounds like you have modified the table grid style, which is the default
table style in Word. When you put the cursor in the fancy table, does an orange glow surround the table grid icon? If so,... A quick fix is to create and name a new table style based on table normal with nothing but the grid added. Right click on your new plain table style icon and choose "set as default". New tables will have the plain table formatting, which is to say none. If the document will be used and modified over time or if it will be the basis for other documents, you may want to return table grid to its default settings (to do that, delete it), and for your fancy table, create a new table style that is based on table grid but with a different name. On the other hand, if you just have some tables that do not have header rows, go to table tools design tab table style options, and clear the check box for header row.

Thanks for the suggestions, however I have not modified the table grid style.
When starting a document from scratch, it doesn't immediately come up that way, only after creating a table with headers that have a fill color. Then after that, it assumes I want all my tables from that point on in that particularly document to be styled that way.

What table style does Word say these table are in? To find out, with the
cursor in a table, look in the table style group of the design tab, and hover the mouse pointer over the highlighted one. I a few seconds the style name should show up. cbemoras wrote: Thanks for the suggestions, however I have not modified the table grid style.
