Hi Charltonw@saic.com,

This is by design. Back in the beta for Word 2002, when this was
introduced, I got into some convoluted discussions on the four types of
styles and what the precedence is. Basically, Table and Number styles
"overlay" the paragraph styles, but don't take predence.

Practically, what it boils down to in this case is that you MUST create
the table in a paragraph formatted as "normal" if you want the table
styles font settings to appear. Any paragraph or character formatting you
apply to text in the table will override the table style settings.
