I dont see how AutoText can create a table. Are you referring to Tools
AutoCorrect Options AutoText in Word 2003? Isnt this a simple €œtype and
replace€� function for text only?

But, thank you, I did get my answer to the question €œcan Table styles
incorporate Paragraph styles€� €“ no.

No macro is needed. Create an example table with the desired formatting,
apply paragraph styles to cells, and then create an AutoText entry. In the
future, whenever you want to create that kind of table, insert the AutoText.

For more on AutoText, see

I also prefer to use my own paragraph styles for table text. I don't know
of
a way to apply them along with the table styles. You should be able to
write
a macro to apply the style to all tables in a document.

When I create a table, which is based on a Table Style, the text in the
table does not contain any styles. ASAIK, it is just formatted according
to
the font and paragraph settings defined in the table style.

I would like to have the text in my tables formatted with a Paragraph
style,
so that when I create a table, the text is not only formatted as defined
in
the table style, but formatted according to an actual Paragraph style. The
advantage I see with this is that if I want to globally change some aspect
of
the table text, rather than modify the various Table styles I use, I can
just
modify a single Paragraph style.

What I am currently doing is creating the tables, which have no Paragraph
styles, then selecting the table and applying a Paragraph style to all the
text. Is there any way to automate that by creating a Table style with an
associated Paragraph style applied?
