    Default remove Excel formatting after inserting table from datalink?

    After using a datalink to create a table, I want to remove the Excel formatting and control it through my cell styles - but when I detach the datalink and explode the table, it has applied formatting to each individual piece of mtext in the table. Is there a way to globally remove the formatting other than opening each mtext? I am having a lot of trouble with my tables crashing, so I'm trying to just insert the table from Excel then explode it to make it static text. Any help is appreciated - I'm a newbie with tables. I searched forums but couldn't find a previous answer to this. Thanks all.
