1. Doc1 contains an Table1, with a header and a data row. Each cells in
Table1 has different style/font formatting, manual or predefined. Table1
itself may have been auto-formatted, but could also contain manual formatting
as well.

2. During an automated process, some tab-separated data will be converted
into a Table2 via .ConvertToTable() function.

3. May I know how can I apply the exact style/formatting from Table1 to
Table2? Speed is the key.

Speed is something you can't expect. You'd need to "walk" every cell in Table1
and query each and every type of format you're interested in, applying it then
to Table2. For what you describe there are no "short cuts".

If (and it's a big "if"...) you can accomplish your formatting requirements
with a Table Style, then you can do this with a single click by applying
your chosen Table Style to your new table.

However, Table Styles are very complex collections of multiple types of
formatting, and they are not totally flexible.

Look up Table Styles in the Help, and see if you can create one that will do
what you want.  If not, you're back to what Cindy says: you have to do it
cell by cell, setting every property of every object in every cell.

Cheers
