If you save this in your Normal.dotm template rather than in the Building Blocks.dotx template, you can use AutoComplete to insert such a table by typing and pressing Enter. |
I created my own template I use for documents. I read that if I mess with the normal.dotm and someone else opens it, it might mess up the formatting.
What's confusing me now is that I've noticed in the same table, with my "Table Text" style applied to the entire table, Column 1&2 is Arial Size 10, Column 3 is Arial Size 11. Changing size 11 to size 10, results in a "Table Text +" style appearing. Makes no sense.
I'll check out quick tables, see how that goes.

By the way, in my opinion, 10 pt is too small for general document use.

I am a lawyer and use 10 pt for the stuff I don't want anyone to read.
Sometimes I will compromise and use 11.5. For things I file in court that I want judges to read, I use 14 pt.
If you want people to read what you write, don't make the text too dense. |
I'm a mechatronic design engineer and Size 10 Arial or Size 11 Calibri are the typical font styles preferred by the companies I've worked for. This company uses Arial 10 and size 7 for the small print. For the technical documents I create or modify, legibility has never been an issue.
I've created a test document with the issue. First table was pre-existing / in the upper half of the original document. The second table is newly inserted, and defaults to the wrong font size despite showing the correct style is applied.
