Table Seeds & Styles in ORD10, ORD11, and MS17.2

I really like the addition of tables compared with V8i. I think there's a lot of potential for it.

Here's my problem: I have a bunch of custom table seeds in a workspace dgnlib. I want to import from an Excel file.

When I'm in 10.10 I see the dialog box below. I select my table seed, select the Excel file, and everything turns out great.

Now I'm using ORD 10.11 and the dialog has changed to the one below. There's no option for table seed. The dropdown list for table style is blank. I don't even know what a table style is. I can't create a table from an Excel file from my fancy table seeds and am unhappy.

Now I'm using Microstation CONNECT 17.2. The dialog looks like below. Hey, it has the table seed dropdown again! MS172 also has a new button in the ribbon for Table Styles. Still not sure what those are, but I can make them based on my seeds. I can even jump back to ORD 10.11 and the table style dropdown is now not completely blank but at least has one of the Table Styles that I created in MS.

It seems to me that I need to create my seeded Excel tables using ORD10.10 or Microstation CE even if my project is using ORD10.11. Is anyone aware of a workaround not being able to select a table seed in 10.11?
