Default what does *stylename mean?

Why do some style names have an asterisk pre-name? Also, I format
long docs and have a style for tables. This style doesn't seem "to
stick." I will format using the style and then the table will revert
back to no style. What would cause this? Thanks.

As far as I know, if a style name includes an asterisk it is because someone
named it like that (but I guess I could be wrong).

Also, I format long docs and have a style for tables. This style doesn't
seem "to stick." I will format using the style and then the table will
revert back to no style. What would cause this? Thanks.


What aspects of the style are not preserved? Borders, shading, text
formatting?

The table style has different shading for every other row including
top. This is mostly what goes "away."

Note that you can turn off certain aspects of table styles on the Table
Tools Design tab. For the affected tables, see if "Banded Rows" have been
cleared in the Table Style Options group.

I don't remember if the option was available in Word 2003. If you look in
Table | Table AutoFormat, what do you see there?
