......yes that works because nDataRows-1 is a positive number so we only
set for the exact row. The -1 form is a relative last and when we copy
the styles during a split we're not being clever enough to distinguish
between what people mean ie repeat the style on every partial table so
if your 80 line table is split into

        0-19, 20-39, 40-59, 60-79

then I think the -1, style is being applied on rows 19, 39, 59 and 79
and probably we could be clever and split the styles better.
