<tblPr> (Table Properties)

This element defines the properties of a table on the whole. Within this element are many visual modifications that can be applied to the table.

example: 
<a:tblPr firstRow="1" bandRow="1">
  <a:tableStyleId>{5940675A-B579-460E-94D1-54222C63F5DA}</a:tableStyleId>
</a:tblPr>

In this example, we see that there is a link to a <table style id> (§5.1.6.10) which is defined elsewhere and that the first column formatting and banded row formatting has been enabled. The <table style> defines the formatting applied with the two formatting options enabled. ]
