i) if you look on the word file (the excel file is included so that the word

shading works fine in WORD - no overlap, but if you look at the PDF version,
the rows "overlap" a bit, the grey shading covers up bits of the rows above
and below.

To get to PDF all I'm doing is changing my printer from Lexmark to the
"Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer" option, and yes, I've checked the paper and
margin settings so it's not that.

PDFWriter is a non-PostScript tool and mercifully, Adobe has dropped it. Your
best PDF will come from distilling a PostScript file made with the Adobe PDF
printer instance.



Does anyone know why the output in PDF is not the same as in WORD? why is
word keeping the rows separate, and PDF isnt?


this leads to my 2nd (and main) problem

ii) where is the setting for those rows that are shaded? I'm buggered if I
can remember how I did it. I've tried "format, borders and shading" and
clearing shading from cell, table, paragraph, text - to no avail. I cannot
work out where to turn this shading option off now, which I need to do to
see if the PDF output is better. It's not good to have rows obscured!

Try the settings in the Table Table Properties menu.
