Hey, sorry you haven't had a response to your question. This particular subforum is one I "never look at" but I thought I might take a quick look on this occasion.

On my machine, if the document is saved in doc format then it doesn't appear to support banded styles and most likely not let you fiddle the font attributes as part of the table style. Certainly, when I save to doc format I see the same greyed out Banded Rows/Columns that were enabled when the document was docx.
