Default what does *stylename mean?

In the Modify Style dialog box you should be able to choose which item to
"Apply formatting to"; for example, you can choose "Odd banded rows" and
then set the options (such as shading) for those rows.

Note that if you cannot get the options to stick, you could create an
example table with the desired formatting and then create an AutoText entry
which you can insert whenever you want that formatting.

Note that you can turn off certain aspects of table styles on the Table

been
cleared in the Table Style Options group.

Why do some style names have an asterisk pre-name?


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."- Hide quoted text -

I am using Word 2003. Where do I find the Design tab?

under the style table, modify, format there is an option for "stripes"
but it just lets you select the number of rows or columns in a band
