Default banding in W 2007 tables

How do you add banding in W 2007 tables? Where do you specify the
colors desired? I am looking to have color applied to every other
row, except the heading rows. Is this possible? I could not find any
how-to instructions in online help.

I would appreciate any help on this.


After you insert a table, the Table Tools tab appears on the ribbon, with
sub-tabs labeled Design and Layout. On the Design tab, all the way at the
left is a group of options. Check the one that says Banded Rows. Then look
at the gallery of Table Styles in the middle of the ribbon. (By clicking the
arrows at the right side of the gallery you can scroll through it, or click
the More button to see the full gallery.) As you hover the mouse over a
style, the table will display a preview; when you see the one you like best,
click it to apply that style.

After applying a style, you can further tweak the settings, such as
background color and border line weight and color.
