MS Word Table became "filled"
I have a few dozen tables within a large MS Word 2003 document. For no
reason I can determine, the text-within-all-cells throughout the document have become dark-blue filled. I specify that the entire table-cell itself IS NOT color-filled, only the written text. In Borders & Shading there is no shading selected for any of the table cells. The "paint can icon" is greyed out (unavailable) for all table-cells, so I know it didn't happen like that. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff |

If it's just color behind the written text -- and not color filling the
entire cell -- it sounds like you've inadvertently highlighted the text OR applied highlighting to the style used in the table. Try selecting the entire table (Table - Select - Table). Then go to the highlighter icon in the Formatting toolbar and select "None." I hope that helps. Fred "Henn9660" wrote: I have a few dozen tables within a large MS Word 2003 document.

Hi Fred, and thanks for the response. Unfortunately, this did not remove the
background color. The text itself if "color-filled" and as I said, I cannot determine what I did to cause it. I'm going to delete all of the tables and recreate them. Sometimes, going back to square-one helps to preserve sanity. Thanks again, Jeff.

AFAIK, that's an issue only in Word 2007. Although the original context has

Apologies, I missed that.
For W2003, in addition to cell shading, look for paragraph shading. Reveal formatting should show where shading is applied (to the font, the paragraph, or the cell). You might also PamC Suzanne S.
