Remarks
If the value of this property is set to True, then the Filter and Name properties of the AutoFormatRule object cannot be changed.

Example
The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example enumerates the AutoFormatRules collection for the current TableView object, disabling any custom formatting rule contained by the collection.
Private Sub DisableCustomAutoFormatRules()
Dim objTableView As TableView
Dim objRule As AutoFormatRule
' Check if the current view is a table view.
If Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentView.ViewType = olTableView Then
' Obtain a TableView object reference to the current view.
Set objView = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentView
' Enumerate the AutoFormatRules collection for
' the table view, disabling any custom formatting
' rule defined for the view.
For Each objRule In objView.AutoFormatRules
If Not objRule.Standard Then
objRule.Enabled = False
End If
Next
' Save and apply the table view.
objView.Save
objView.Apply
End If
End Sub
