Hello,

XLS 2007: I am a little bit confused about table styles. I'd like
them to appear in the Styles panel, but they do not.

Say that I have a long document and I want to change all my tables
with "Style99" style into style "MyOwnStyleABC".

How can I do this?

Thank you

You can specify which styles appear in the Styles pane (and the order in
which they appear), using the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog.

But note that this doesn't apply to table styles, which never show up in the
Styles pane in Word 2007 (and in Word 2010, I suppose). To *apply* styles,
including table styles, you can use the Apply Styles (Ctrl+Shift+S) pane.

Ah, I hadn't realized that (or rather, had forgotten it, as I'm sure this
has come up before), and I didn't actually select one of the table styles to
see that the buttons don't become enabled for it. But I do have the Styles
dropdown on the QAT, and it evidently can't be prevented from showing ALL
the table styles.

Hmm, I believe the Styles dropdown shows styles as determined by the settings of
the Style Pane Options dialog box (in the Styles pane of Word 2007, click
Options).

The display settings for individual styles (the Recommend tab of the Manage
Styles dialog) are available only for character and paragraph styles.

On the other hand, in a document where formatting has been restricted, you can
control which styles display; this applies to table styles as well.
