"Brillo"??? In this part of the world that's the brand name of
soap-impregnated steel wool scouring pad ;-}

Brillo, Bob!
The fiasco you describe is one reason why I format my tables totally
avoiding Word's "helpfulness", then make the various types of tables into
AutoText items that I can subsequently invoke with a quick keyboard
shortcut.
For anyone else who would like a fuller description (Bob knows it all,
surprise surprise), see the article "Example ? creating and inserting a
pre-formatted table via AutoText" on pages 124 and 125 of some notes on the
way I use Word for the Mac, titled "Bend Word to Your Will", which are
available as a free download from the Word MVPs' website
(http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html).
[Note: "Bend Word to your will" is designed to be used electronically and
most subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. If you decide to
read more widely than the item I've referred to, it's important to read the
front end of the document -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can select
some Word settings that will allow you to use the document effectively.]

Hi Jeff -
It depends on how the table was formatted. If a Table Style was actually
applied the name of the style should appear in the Current Style list in the
Formatting Palette as well as the Styles List on the Formatting Toolbar...
just like a Paragraph Style.
However, if the Table AutoFormat feature was used those list items will
simply indicate Table Grid. With your insertion point in the table go to
Table> Table AutoFormat & see which one is selected in the list.
It can be deceptive if a Table Style was applied & Table AutoFormat was used
later - the list items will continue to display the name of the style that
was previously applied even though the formatting of the table no longer
complies with the style's attributes.

Is there as easy way to identify what table style was used to
create a table with?
E.g., select the table and then ????
