Custom Table Styles
I am attempting to create a table style that would work across 30 or 40
templates. I am using the Contemporary Table style as a base in Word 2007. Unfortunately, several aspects of the table I've designed are not working, the main one being the banding of color of every other row. I am able to set up the custom table, and reformat each table to that style, but the banding is not consist. In one case, I recreated the style with a different name, and it disappeared. Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, on the ribbon, I cannot check off the checkbox called banding |

Custom Table Styles
Unfortunately, Table Styles are not really up to much and are a bit of a
wasted idea. Better to create some default tables and save then as AutoText entries. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "sharon27lily" wrote in message ...

Custom Table Styles
For tables that I did not create, I've made it a practice to clear table
formatting before I apply my table style. If the document is a doc. file(that is, if you are in W2007 compatibility mode) , you cannot apply banding set in a table style. And, of course, you must be able to turn the option _on_ for a table in order for it to appear.
