Default White space in word Table

If you don't have tabs, are you using a very old version of MSWord?

What tab does it say to go to?

I read a previous explanation about how to solve this, but then I had to
register and then I couldn't find the thread again. Doesn't matter, it
didn't help. I could not follow their instructions because they said
things like, "Go to this tab" or "click on the highlighted portion"...

Well, the "tab" they recommended does not exist in my MS word and I
cannot click on the highlighted part.

It would help if we could send screenshots.

So, the problem is that I copy and paste a table every two weeks for my
work invoice. About 3 times a year the table will suddenly not allow me
to do full shading of my table cells - it only shades to small little
blocks at the far right and far left of each cell. VERY FRUSTRATING ! !
! !

So, the last few times, I have re-done the ENTIRE thing which is
extremely time consuming and leads to errors.

Can ANYONE PLEASE explain CLEARLY (don't skip any steps) WHY this keeps
happening??? What can I do to fix it?
