Can't change the style

[eco]

Hi
I set the style for the table text, say set style: essay table text, font
size=10. I then close and save the file. However, when openning the file, the
font size will turn to be 12 again.
In fact, I successfully set the style for my essay text, say set style:
essay text, font size=10. I don't why I can't set the style for the table
text.
Any advice or hint is welcome.

Create a new style based on Normal, then select the entire table and apply
the new style.
