Cell background colour problem
I am having a problem with the background colour in cells of a table
using MS Word. I have some cells where the background colour stops and turns to white about one line of text before the end of the cell or border. Other cells have the background colour fill the entire cell, right to the border. In the former case, if I start adding text, Word automatically expands the table row as normal and custom background colour, so that the text never goes into the part of the cell with out background color (white background). I have not been able to figure out how to fix this. I want the background colour to fill the entire cell, not part of the cell. Any ideas? Cell1: Cell2 |----------------------| |-----------------------| | | | | | | | background color | | | | | | | | completely fills | | background colour | | | | stops at this line | | this cell | | ------- | | | | white color here | | | |----------------------| |-----------------------| |

Cell background colour problem
Jay,
It sounds like the background shading in Cell 1 is applied to the Yeah, I checked that, all is correct. the lower right -- it should say Cell, not Paragraph. I checked Paragraph, Cell, and Table settings, all are as they should be. Thanks, -j paragraphs, not to the cell. With the cursor in that cell, open the Format Borders and Shading dialog and look at the Apply To box in the lower right -- it should say Cell, not Paragraph.
