In all versions of Civil 3D besides 2016, there was a drop down list for Multileaders and Tables under the Annotation tab.  This would allow you to choose the style that you wanted easily and quickly.

In Civil 3D 2016, the list is no longer there. 

 

There is a new system variable that controls this option, called GalleryView.  The default value is 1.  If you change the value to 0, your drop down lists will be available for use.  Just type GalleryView view in the command line and change the value.
