Can I assign a text style to a table style?
I'm using Word 2002. I've created some new table styles and want them to
include a certain text style as well. I am not finding that option. Right now, I am inserting a table, then applying my table style, then applying the text style. Can I make this just one step? -- Thanks! Mary Lee |

Hi Mary
I think the short answer is no. I, too, would prefer to define a table style in terms of paragraph styles. But it can't be done. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

But in the "Modify Style" dialogue box where you define a Table style, there are font formatting controls - what do these do? They don't seem to work to apply any text formatting?! |

Can I assign a text style to a table style?
Here is a trick for new tables:
Before inserting a table assign your table text style to a paragraph where you placed you cursor for inserting a new table; and then insert table, assign table style (make sure you dont define font characteristics when creating table style so it can use the defaults) "Shauna Kelly" wrote: Hi Mary I think the short answer is no.

There is a strange connection between the Normal style and the text
formatting applied by table styles, which means that if you've modified Normal, that will override the font settings of the table style. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "feline1" wrote: But in the "Modify Style" dialogue box where you define a Table style, there are font formatting controls - what do these do?
