Word 2003 table shading removes shading on its own
When using word 2003 tables, i will shade specific cells and contiue working
and formatting. I have noticed and seen first hand that word will inadvertantly and randomly remove shading from specific cells. This happens more often after I have just saved the file. This is driving me insane, as I have quite large tables and have spent a long time trying to get my shading right only to find it removed later. I thought this issue might be my computer, but i have witnessed it on a co-workers computer as well. |

Word 2003 table shading removes shading on its own
Hi ?B?a3JvaGxmaW5n?=,
When using word 2003 tables, i will shade specific cells and contiue working and formatting. I have noticed and seen first hand that word will inadvertantly and randomly remove shading from specific cells. This happens more often after I have just saved the file. This is driving me insane, as I have quite large tables and have spent a long time trying to get my shading right only to find it removed later. I thought this issue might be my computer, but i have witnessed it on a co-workers computer as well. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this happen "randomly" in the fifteen or so years I've been working with Word... Is this happening with all documents, or only ones of a certain type? (Created from specific templates, perhaps.) My first guess would be that there's a macro associated with the documents; my second one would be that this is a result of style assignments updating (overriding your formatting).

It is a template and perhaps random is the wrong word as it unformats the
same cells every time. THe style assignments you mentioned sounds like a possibility. How do I change or override those?

Word 2003 table shading removes shading on its own
Just something to check. Make sure under Tools--Options, Save tab, you
aren't disabling features after Word 97 because I've seen tables act weird under these circumstances because certain colors are not available, tho I've never heard of it "removing" shading. To check your styles, open the doc and go to Tools--Templates and addins. Is it attached to a template besides normal.dot (assuming there's nothing wrong with your normal.dot), and is "automatically update styles" checked? If so, it's likely your template styles and they should be changed in your template before attempting to further format them in a document based upon it. ************ Hope it helps!
