Stop tables from imposing "Table Grid" style??
I'm in Word 2002, trying to copy repeating text from one set of cells into
another set. But every time I paste, Word imposes the "Table Grid" style onto whatever I pasted. I can use the Format Painter to put things back like I wanted. But is there any way I can stop this behavior? Ed |

Stop tables from imposing "Table Grid" style??
Go to Table | Table AutoFormat and choose Table Normal, then click
Default... This will make Table Normal (no borders) the default for all documents based on the current document or attached template, depending on your choice. -- Suzanne S.

Stop tables from imposing "Table Grid" style??
I may not have been clear enough, Suzanne - sorry about that. It's not the
style of the table itself - the borders and such. Pasting somehow triggers Words to change the Style of the text from Body Text 2 to Table Grid. The text is pasted in as copied, and then magically change to a different font and size. Ed "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

If it's any further help, I copied four rows. Ctrl+V pasted them in, and
they changed text format. Highlight and Ctrl+Drag copied them with no change in format. Ed "Ed" wrote in message ... "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

I'm afraid I can't help further on this because I don't have the experience
or the expertise, but you might try posting in the microsoft.public.word.tables group instead. -- Suzanne S.
