Publisher 2010, Tables and Text Styles

[BTannenbaum]

I'm working with a large table in Publisher 2010, and I want to apply
the same style to the initial (empty) paragraph in a set of cells in
my table.

What I expected was that I would select the set of cells in my table,
the select a style from the Home ribbon menu, and the style would be
applied to all of the cells.

What's happening is that I select the cells I want to apply the style
to, go to the Home ribbon, and select the style, and the selection
collapses to only one cell and that's the only one that gets the style
applied. Which is very frustrating.

Am I running into a bug? Or is there an alternate way to do this,
other than going to each of the cells in turn and applying the style?

Thanks.

Once you have applied your style to the first cell, high-light the text,
double-click the Painter tool, apply to one or a series of cells.
