Changing the style of added PowerPoint 2007 tables

Problem

When you add a new table to a slide in PowerPoint 2007, it takes on the default table style defined by the presentation's theme. Or template. Or something. But it may not be what you want. So how do you change the style?

Solution

This macro shows you the name and id of the selected table'scurrent style, then sets the style to the "No style, No grid" style.
By first choosing the style you want, you can view its id in the Immediate window, then copy/paste that into a modified version of the code below to set the style of a table in your own code.

Sub thing()
    Dim oTblStyle As TableStyle
    With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
        With .Table.Style
            Debug.Print .Name
            Debug.Print .Id
        End With
        With .Table
            .ApplyStyle ("{2D5ABB26-0587-4C30-8999-92F81FD0307C}")
        End With
    End With
End Sub
