Colour the entire cell in a Table (not just the text)þ
Hi, I have a table and would like to colour the entire background of
acell in the table. I am able to colour the text in the cell, but notthe entire background of the cell (I want to see a rectangular block ofcolour with the cell's text still viewable). I am using Word 2003. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks,Tom |

If you have the entire cell selected when you apply shading, it should be
applied to the cell rather than the paragraph, but if there's any problem, go to Format | Borders and Shading and make sure that Cell and not Text is selected for "Apply to." -- Suzanne S.
