Place the cursor inside the inner table and choose Format | Borders
and Shading.
Make sure that table gridlines are displayed (on the Table menu, click
Show Gridlines); that makes it easier to identify the tables. You may
also want to click the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar, so that you
can see the end-of-cell and end-of-row markers: ¤. (For more on
nonprinting marks, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.)

Thanks

I have a table with cells that appear to have a background color

Format - Borders and Shading - No Fill - Apply to Table
And NOTHING.
Suggestions?
The cells in question might contain an inline image.
Or (more likely) you are actually faced with a table within a
table --
then the inner table has its own settings including B&S.
