How can we set TableHeading and Table Row styles

We've created a Product_Table style. When a user inserts a new table using that style, we'd like the table header and table text to use our TableHeading and TableText styles, not the default styles. We have two writers who are very fluent in HTML and RoboHelp and neither have been able to find a way to accomplish this goal. The end result is that the users have to manually apply the TableHeader and TableText styles after inserting the table.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Rh will not work with HTML Table Headers. You need to create a Table Style

using the Style Pod. It's not intuitive first time and I think I put

something on my site about it.

Then you insert a table using the icon and apply the saved table style to that.

    Is there a way to change the default RH table styles? I get what Carol is saying, I think. So that when you insert the table, it automatically uses the company's default table style instead of what RH inserts. (Without having to apply the styles.)

    This would be pretty cool, although I guess we have two distinct table styles. But it would be nice to have the one we use the most just default in.

    Yes, Kimberly, that is what we are trying to do.
