Directly applied formatting in tables suddenly change to styles
In a new document cleanup (large, legal financial documents), we apply the
Table Grid style then directly apply the formatting we need (i.e., borders, decimal tabs, indents). Lately, we have found that the tables in our documents suddenly change from directly applied formatting to various styles (i.e., TOC1, Heading, Index, Balloon Text). There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. At first, we thought that it happened upon TOC update or Index update. Has anyone seen this? |

If you haven't already, clear the check box for "Define styles based on your
formatting" on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect Options. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, I looked at that and it is cleared. It seems to be happening on an
automated process (i.e., TOC update, Index update, save (doc id update)). Can't pinpoint it though. I did notice today that the template changed from Blank.dot to Normal.dot. Could this be a template issue? "Suzanne S.

Is Blank.dot a custom template (Normal.dot is the template on which a Blank
Document is based)? -- Suzanne S.

Yes, Blank.dot is my firm's custom template for blank documents.

If Normal.dot becomes attached to a document, it's usually because the
original template is unavailable. -- Suzanne S.

Right, but do you think that would cause the Table Grid style to change to
paragraph styles when someone else opens the document? "Suzanne S.

I can't see why it would, but perhaps the "someone else" who's opening the
document does *not* have "Define styles based on your formatting" disabled? FWIW, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html. -- Suzanne S.
