Hi Paul

You could try this macro approach - run it on Normal.dotm and save the template. It will show "No Style". You can create your own Table Styles.

Sub jec_HideAllTableStylesInDoc()Dim s As Style
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Styles
If s.Type = wdStyleTypeTable Then
s.Visibility = True
s.UnhideWhenUsed = True
End If
Next s
End Sub
