Create new table style using VBA

[Maggie]

Hi All,

Hope you can help me with solving the following question:

I have created a new table style using Word XP and also
imported into the template I have created in XP. However
when I've tried to open the same template in Word 2000.
The new table style which I have created specifically for
the template has disappeared. How do you actually modify
table style in Word 2000??

Thanks!

I may be wrong but table styles were not introduced until
XP. Given that they will not be imported into Word 2000.

You can test that theory by saving a copy of the document with the
"Discard Features not available in Word 97" checkbox checked. Then
open the copy and see if your table style is still there.

Miss Maggie - table styles were introduced in Word XP. Word 2000 just
carries the useless tags around as it is clueless. You simply CANT use
them in Word 2k, the technology is not available.

Strictly speaking, that's true, but there are some things that can be done,
even with '97 and 2000:
