Thanks for the help. The link provides info on table styles, but no detail on how to apply or modify banding; no worries though...I'm slowly but surely sorting it out.

By way of introduction, I've been a technical writer for about 16 years, but used FrameMaker as my primary authoring tool. I've recently started a new job where I'm using Word 2016. I'm developing a format for the documentation, and thus have dived into the wonderful world of word styles.
