No -- table inheritance only works for rows.

So you can, for example, set the background for every cell in a particular
row, like this:

<style type="text/css">
TR.yellowrow TD { background:yellow }
</style>

<tr class="yellowrow">
<td>a</td>
<td>b</td>
<td>c</td>
</tr>

However, you can use the <colgroup> and <col> elements near the top of
your table to set border colours, widths and styles, and default
alignments.
