Default Font color won't change in header row of my Table style

Reapplying the table style doesn't work, either, unfortunately. Thanks for
the article - this is helpful, and now I know I'm not crazy. I think we'll
just go with the table style and accept the black text. Thanks for all your
help!

If you *reapply* the copied table style to the relevant table(s), does that
make a difference? You can use Ctrl+Alt+U to clear the formatting and then
just apply the style again.

Also, if you are referring to the text color, as opposed to the cell
shading, note that table styles are a bit tricky with respect to those
settings, as explained at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html. :-( Applying the
desired paragraph style to the text should work better.

Yes, I was able to create the style in another document, but for some
reason,
when I used Organizer to copy it over to my template, it resets the header
color to black. I also tried to copy the style from the new document into
my
source document, but it resets the color to gray (not black, though).

Can you successfully modify the Table Grid style in another document? If
so,
you could then use the Organizer (Tools | Templates and Add-Ins,
Organizer
button) to copy it to the document where you are unable to modify it.

I created a table style based on Table Grid (Word 2003 SP3). I applied a
blue
font color to the header row. I also set the font, font size, and bold
for
the header row. These settings are applied, but the header row color
will
not
change no matter what I set the color to - it resets it to black every
time.
How can I get my style to accept blue for the header row color? Please
help.
TIA!
