In addition to what Jean-Guy and Pamelia have suggested, you can also create
an Autotext entry that will create a basic table for you (to your design)
which will have the required styles (table Header Row, normal Table text,
etc) applied as well as already having a table caption assigned to it.
Then you can edit this table as required.
Check out the Word Help articales on Autotext, very simple really, create
what you want, select it, Alt+F3, give it a name.
For more on AutoText, also see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm.
Hope this helps

My default paragraph style, Normal, has Spacing After = 6 pt.
My default table style, Table Grid, has Spacing After = 0 pt.
When I create a new table, it uses the Table Grid style but ignores the
Spacing After setting in that style and instead uses the setting of the
preceding paragraph, which is usually Normal style. Then I have to go into
Table Properties and reset the spacing to what it should have been in the
first place.
Is there any way to make Word respect the settings in the table style?

RonSD nous racontait que :
How can I get Word 2003 to create tables that use the Spacing After
setting from the default table style, rather than copying the spacing
of the preceding paragraph?
Aside from using sure that the preceding paragraph is formatted with the
default Table style, I do not se how you can achieve that automatically.
Which style are you using in that preceding paragraph, and why?
