Word 2003 can't modify all table formats Rich 22.09.2006 12:08:03 Two questions - both related:- 1 Creating a New Table style won't allow me to use Arial 10 - I can use other arial font sizes why not arial 10 ? (ie Table/Autoformat/New Table Style/Modify). 2 Word ignores the table text format when inserting the New Table (border formats are modified OK). IE Word does not use the New Table font & paragraph style, it uses the normal document font and paragraph style - so if I insert a new table format into the document I still need to reformat the table text again - it won't do it automatically. Why ? (Is it 'cos tables are ultimately based on Table Normal that cannot be modified ?) Microsoft won't answer unless I pay them !!
