Table background color
I want to make a Table with black lettering and an orange
background for the top row, as like a header. When I make my table, and select format table, and go to borders and shading, i say to make the each cell in the top row orange, it only makes the text orange, and leaves white space around the text in the cell. Next i tried to make two different tables, one for the Header row, and the second for the rest of the table. In the first table, i say to format the whole table, and make it orange, but still i get only the text background that color. The funny thing is, that on the computer screen, in normal mode, and print preview, it shows teh cells as being fully collored, but when it prints, it only does the text background. can someone help me get teh whole cell block to be colored? |

Table background color
Make sure that when you apply the shading, the "Apply to" setting is "Cell"
and not "Paragraph." -- Suzanne S.
