Cannot shade a cell in a table
Hi Colleen
Try some diagnostic steps to see if there is corruption in your document, or in the table. Do you have the same problems if you... 1. create a new table in this document? 2. copy this table within this document? 3. copy this table to another document? 4. copy everything in this document *except* the last paragraph mark to a new document? The following might help, too: How can I recover a corrupt document or template - and why did it become corrupt? http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Colleen" wrote in message ... I have a word document which has a table in it, some cells are shaded. When I saved the original document with a new name I cannot shade any of the cells correctly. The shading appears at the very edge of the cells. I have tested this on a blank document and the shading works as normal ie. the whole cell is shaded. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks CR |

Cannot shade a cell in a table
Hi Colleen,
I have a word document which has a table in it, some cells are shaded. When I saved the original document with a new name I cannot shade any of the cells correctly. The shading appears at the very edge of the cells. I have tested this on a blank document and the shading works as normal ie. the whole cell is shaded. It sounds as if the structure of the table may be damaged. If you - Select the table - Table/Convert table to text - immediately: Table/Convert text to table Does this problem go away?

You might also check to make sure that there isn't some other shading
