Creating a tablular report template

[NCHASHIM]

I will admit readily that I am a newbie.  Perhaps someone can tell me where I am going wrong.

I created a custom template to be used as we transition to the latest release of Jaspersoft.  I added the  "Table_CH" and "Table_TD" styles to the custom  template.  The "field" and "label" fields have a horizonal layout so that they spread out on the report evenly.  The "Field" is defined as having the Table_TD property; the "Label" field is defined as having the Table_CH property.  The custom template was created with the bands that we require: page header, column header, detail band,  and page footer. 

I find that when I use the new template, new fields do not adopt the Table_CH and Table_TD automatically when they are dropped into the column header and detail band.  Is there any way to accomplish this?
