Thanks for the reply. This happens in all documents that is using the
specifically formatted table. As for the cutting and pasting, I am selecting
the table either by highlighting the above and below the table or by clicking
on the upper left hand box and cutting with ctrl-x then pasting with ctrl-v.
The formatting then disappears upon pasting.
Another interesting thing is that whenever I pull the document up on a Word
2003 computer and add another row in the middle of the document, it will not
continue the alternating white and gray rows (the new row will be the same
color as the row above or below so for instance there would be two white rows
consecutively instead of re-coloring all the rows to keep the alternating
background colors.
If I use Word 2007 pre-formatted tables, the cutting and pasting works
properly. The only problem for this is I the text for each column is
formatted differently, so I will have to redesign the table format for 2007.
I don't know if this will work properly with 2003 though, which could create
a problem from using 2007 on my home computer and the office computer being
2003.
Thanks again for your help.

I'm not seeing that behavior here. When I cut/paste a table from one part of
the document to another, the formatting/shading/borders/etc. are all
replicated exactly as they were in the original location.
Is this happening in all documents, or just one? If just one, then it sounds
like document corruption of some kind. If all... then exactly how are you
pasting? Are you just pressing Ctrl+V in a new part of the document? Pasting
over an existing table? Something else?
