configuring table tag output

New to this, so bear with me.

When I copy and paste a table from a word processor, it comes up beautifully as an actual html table in ckeditor's output. This is very good. But it comes up with inline styles with respect to padding and so on, which means I can't use the output page's css to display the table as I wish.

First, I would suggest if at all possible that those inline styles not be there by default.

But for the moment, how do I configure ckeditor to fix this - i.e. to remove the inline styles it's inserting? I looked at the ckeditor.config documentation, and it has things like CKEDITOR.config.format_div, but no such thing as ckeditor.config.format_table or ckeditor.config.format_td. Am I missing these on some other page of documentation, or is it handled differently, or what?

Also, how do I display the current configuration of a given format style?

Thanks in advance.
