Hi
Bill,
Copying cell shading in
Word is actually quite easy. Here's how you can do it:
- Select the cell that has the shading you want to copy.
- Right-click on the cell and choose "Copy" from the context menu.
- Select the cell where you want to apply the shading.
- Right-click on the cell and choose "Paste Special" from the context menu.
- In the "Paste Special" dialog box, choose "Formats" and click "OK".
This will copy the shading from the first cell to the second cell. You can repeat this process for as many cells as you need.
If you want to know what the current shading color is, you can use the
"Eyedropper" tool. Here's how:
- Select the cell with the shading you want to identify.
- Click on the "Design" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the "Shading" button to open the "Shading" dropdown menu.
- Click on the "Eyedropper" tool.
- Move the cursor over the shaded cell. The tool will display the color of the shading.
