Word 2003 Table cell shading
How do I discover the Gray % on an already-shaded table cell in a document I
created earlier? If I select the cell, and call up Borders and Shading|Shading , none of the Fill boxes is highlighted. Although the cell clearly has partial shading, I can't find out what it is, eg, Gray-37.5%, Gray-40%, etc. I'm using Word 2003 version 11.5604.5606 Product ID 70160-OEM-56900994-08525 |

Word 2003 Table cell shading
That's puzzling. I also am running 2003, and when I select the cell, one of
the fill boxes IS highlighted. If I just have my cursor in the cell, the fill box isn't highlighted. But if I actually select the cell (so that it turns black), the fill box shows up just fine. To select the cell the way I did, put your cursor in the cell, hold down the shift key, and hit the right arrow once. That should select the cell.

Word 2003 Table cell shading
Dear "Idaho Word Man"
I am very embarassed. Minutes after I sent my query, I realised that the cell I was testing was not grayed, but had a pattern. When I went to a genuinely grayed cell, sure enough, up came a highlighted square in the grid of Fill levels on the Borders and Shading|Shading tab. Thank you very much indeed for taking the trouble to respond. Next time, I'll be a bit more careful before banging out a panic message! David W "Idaho Word Man" wrote: That's puzzling.

Another troubleshooting technique you could use is to look at the
