To do something like that would requires you to do something like having a content control in every cell that's to have the formatting, then use a content control exit macro to reformat the cell once its's exited. See attached demo. Pressing Alt-F11 will expose the macro.

With this approach, either the document must be saved in the docm format, or the macro has to be added to its template, which must then be saved in the dotm format.
