OfficeIMO supports builtin Microsoft Office Table styles. That means once can create new table and specify one of the builtin 105 styles.
One can also modify style of an existing table. Missing styles will be added to the document.
Below example shows how easily one can create table with builtin style and how to modify it, if the built-in style is not enough.
Here is the C# code responsible for creation of three tables above using OfficeIMO.Word library.

string filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(folderPath, "Document with Table Styles.docx");
using (WordDocument document = WordDocument.Create(filePath)) {
var paragraph = document.AddParagraph("Lets add table with no borders at all, and then lets fix it with some random borders for given cells: ");
paragraph.ParagraphAlignment = JustificationValues.Center;
paragraph.Bold = true;
paragraph.Underline = UnderlineValues.DotDash;
WordTable wordTable = document.AddTable(4, 4, WordTableStyle.TableNormal);
wordTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Paragraphs[0].Text = "Test 1";
wordTable.Rows[1].Cells[0].Paragraphs[0].Text = "Test 2";
