Default Shading in Table behaves strange

thank you very much for your response, Lene.

The link you sent me has incredible information. I resolved the problem by
applying a bottom margin of .1" to the cells in that row (when I set it to
0" it would still show the white space). After I applied it there was no
more white space..

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

All the best

Hi All,

I have a table (XP, Word 2003) and I want to shade the cells in the top row
gray. Although 3 of the five cells are completely gray two of them have a
little bit of white space in the buttom. Also, I noticed that when I
highlight the text in the top row there is white space above the highlighted
tex as if there was cell padding turned on. The same seems to be on the left
side of the hightlighted text, but on the right side the highlight goes flush
to the cell wall.

There are no margins set for the cells and I have made sure that when I
hightlighted the two problem cells and went to Borders and Shading that I
choose to shade the CELL. It is driving me nuts.

Thank you all.
