You'll see that, even though the Table was inserted into a
paragraph
in Body Text, surrounded by other Paragraphs in Body Text, the
end-of-row markers are pink.

I guess this is a side-effect of the strange connection between
table
styles and the Normal style in Word 2002/2003?

Yes, if you want to use table styles, you mustn't customize the
Normal
paragraph style.
If you don't apply another style in the table, Normal is applied.
But the
formatting of Normal isn't applied ... *as long* as the
factory-default
settings of Normal haven't been changed.

As soon as you customize Normal, it's no longer "transparent" in
tables, and
font settings done in the table style will be without effect (and
the
settings in the Normal style will be used instead).

It seems this is "by design", but usually it's perceived as a bug.

Greetings,
Klaus
