You should be able to modify any style except Table Normal. But see

Word XP.

I'm trying to learn how to use Table Styles. I'm confused. I cannot
seem to change the built-in table styles. I can create a new table
style, but cannot format certain cells certain ways. What I need is a
good resource for learning about table styles in Word XP/2002. Are
there any MVP Faqs or other online resources that would help me get
started?

Thank you.
