Hey there, I have an update.  Daniel was right, I could modify the Table 
style in word (took a while to figure out how to do this `1. click on the 
table, 2. click on table design, 3. modify the design. NOTE: Pandoc only 
works with the "Table" style in Word.

I successfully was able to get the border to show, as well as the table 
margins and table indent, set.  Which is all great.

Have one/two more issues to tackle. As I'm using APA style guidelines I 
have a first paragraph indent set for normal text. This indent is being 
applied to the text in my tables. This means my text looks terrible. Also, 
the tables are not auto-sizing to content.  My workaround is to manually 
apply a "table paragraph" style to all my tables after the pandoc 
conversion. Is anyone aware of a way to set the table paragraph and size in 
the reference docx?  From what I've read thus far, this does not appear 
possible. I'd love to be proven wrong.
