In that case, I'm not sure where the terminology was picked up from. I
certainly never heard it prior to W2003.

FWIW, the OP specified that she had Office XP (see subject line).

One way to modify the built-in table formats that come with
Microsoft Word is to apply your own stripe patterns. You can select the
number of rows or columns to include in a stripe pattern and apply your
color choices to the pattern.
The above table, for example, has a stripe pattern with two rows
of color alternating with two rows without color.
Note When you modify a table style, all tables with that style
in the active document will be changed.
To add stripe patterns to a table
1.. Select the table.
2.. If the Styles and Formatting task pane is not open, click
Styles and Formatting on the Formatting toolbar.
3.. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click the arrow on
the table style, and then click Modify.
4.. In the Apply formatting to box, select a stripe pattern by
doing one or both of the following:
Add stripes to rows
1.. Click Odd row stripes or Even row stripes.
2.. To select a color for the row stripes, click the arrow
next to Shading Color, and then click a color.
Add stripes to columns
1.. Click Odd column stripes or Even column stripes.
2.. To select a color for the column stripes, click the
arrow next to Shading Color, and then click a color.
By default, the stripe patterns are applied to every other row
or column.
5.. To change the number of rows or columns in a stripe
pattern, click Format, and then click Stripes.
6.. In the Stripes dialog box, do one or both of the
following:
Change the number of rows in a stripe
a.. In the Number of rows in a row band box, click a number.
Change the number of columns in a stripe
a.. In the Number of columns in a column band box, click a
number.

PS Sorry its in HTML to keep the formatting
Terry, where do you find that terminology? I don't see it either in Table |
Table AutoFormat or in Format | Style for any of the table styles.
