How can I maintain the formatting pattern when adding extra rows to a Word Table?

I'm trying to add information to an existing Word Table but whenever I click to add extra rows below the table, they're all the same colour instead of alternating light and dark bands as in the original rows.

If I create a completely new Word Document with a table, I can easily add the extra rows retaining the alternating format.

Can anyone tell me what's happening here??

Check with the person who sent you the table.  Maybe the "banding" was applied by manual formatting.
