Can I create a new table style based on a table in a document?
FWIW I have experienced the same issue with Word Mac 2004. I had changed the
Normal font to Garamond 12. Try as I might, I was unable to create a table style using Myriad Web 10 as the table font. It always ended up being Garamond 12. In the style creation dialog, a 10-pt font size wasn't even on offer. The only solution that worked was to re-designate TNR as the Normal font and then PRESTO! everything worked. I was able to create a table style based on Myriad Web 10-pt as the font. If you still want to use a font other than TNR you can then do as I did, and make Garamond the font for Body Text. PS I'm not an "expert" user but have long hours of frustrated experience trying - often unsuccessfully - to tame Word to make it do what I want. It's not always obvious.

I could select it for the header row only, and the number stayed in the box, but it had no effect. I'm glad to know it is Microsoft bug and not a MyPersonalBrain bug - Jessica |

Can I create a new table style based on a table in a document?
The workaround is this: In W2002 and 2003 and presumably W2004, do not set
any font properties in the table style. Use paragraph styles to format table text instead. Pam kaeup wrote: FWIW I have experienced the same issue with Word Mac 2004.
