Powerpoint (for mac) - Template and table design

Hello:

I am creating a powerpoint template for a client, and want to specify the style/design of the tables used. In the master slide, I am inserting a table placeholder. When a user actually uses the template and inserts the table,  is there a way for me to modify the pre-styled table (see attached) so that i can control the look of the tables in the template? 

Thank you.

    PowerPoint for both Mac and Windows lacks a table style editor like the ones found in Word and Excel. Instead, you must create table styles by hacking the underlying XML of the presentation. You can also set one style as a default at the same time. Here's my how-to article: OOXML Hacking: Custom Table Styles. Table text is formatted in a separate section of the XML. Here's how to set those text levels: OOXML Hacking: Default Table Text
