SYMPTOMS
After creating a table and applying a table format, the Include Shading and Include Borders options do not clear the shading and borders of the table as the sample (preview) implies.



RESOLUTION

 * 1) Select the table.
 * 2) From the Tools menu, choose AutoFormat.
 * 3) Choose [Default] or [None] to clear the previous shading and borders.
 * 4) Select the table.
 * 5) From the Tools menu, choose AutoFormat.
 * 6) Under Table Format, select a new table format.

NOTE: Make desired selections regarding Include Shading and Include Borders before applying a new format.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Create a table.
 * 2) Select the table.
 * 3) From the Tools menu, choose AutoFormat.
 * 4) Choose any table format other than [Default] or [None]. Make sure Include Shading and Include Borders are selected. Choose OK.
 * 5) Select the table
 * 6) From the Tools menu, choose AutoFormat.
 * 7) Choose any table format other than [Default] or [None]. Clear the Include Shading and Include Borders options. Choose OK.

The expected result is that the table will look like the preview image. However, if during steps 4 and 7 above the same table format was chosen, the table will not change. If during steps 4 and 7 different table formats were chosen, those options that were cleared in the Options menu will not change; the table will retain the shading and borders of the original table.
