Table AutoFormat

[Mary Lee]

In Word 2003, when inserting a database field and choosing the table format
with the Table AutoFormat button, the list does not include the user-defined
tables that exist in the template. How can I get those on the list to choose
from?

PS - After I insert my data, I can select the table and apply my user-defined
style, but when I update the fields, the formatting returns to what it was
before. We'd like to automate this, as we plan to use it across a broad range
of documents that are part of a much larger set of documents where the table
format has already been determined. It will be quite time-consuming to have
to find dozens of long tables in 100+ page documents and reformat the style
for each table, one at a time.
