Word 2007 lets you define your own standard table and save it for reuse in as many documents as you like using building blocks. This is much easier that inserting Word’s standard table and applying a table style.

To create your standard table for reuse:

1. Within your document, create a new table with the desired formatting. Also, include any standard text within the table.
2. Select the entire table.
3. Press Alt+F3
4. The Create New Building Block dialog box appears.
5. Type a name for your standard table in the Name field.
6. Using the Gallery drop-down list, choose Tables.
7. Click OK.

You now have a standard table that can be reused in other documents. To use the table, type the name you entered in step 4, and then press F3. Word will automatically insert the table into your document.
