Some properties can be set, but most cannot. To access the ones that can be
set, go to Format | Style and either select an existing table style or
create a new one. You will see that Format | Table Properties... gives you a
limited number of settings in that dialog. Note that the Table Normal style
cannot be modified, but you can select a different Table style as your
preferred one in the Table | Table AutoFormat dialog.

Do you know how I can set my new table to my default
AutoStyle when I create it "using the drawing toolbar"?

Eg:
- click on drawing toolbar | pencil-liked icon
- draw a table out

Problem:
- a table is based on table normal, instead of my table
style

What I need:
- change into my table style

Don't ever use the pencil to draw a table. You'll end up with a nightmare.
Use the Insert Table button on the toolbar instead.

I wish to know.

Thanks
