You can change the "Table Grid" table style.
Say by right-clicking on it in the styles pane, Modify... Format...
Table properties ("Table" tab) Options.

Is it possible to change the deault values of the margins?
IMHO, these are too small and the text always looks crammed.
Every time I create a table, I have to change those. It's time consuming
and
it sure does make me dislike Word even more... 
Any Ideas?
