Only Portion of Cell Shaded
I have a table that I am trying to add some shading to certain cells and some
are fine, but others have 1/8 inch unshaded area at the bottom of the cell. I have researched this in the discussion groups and tried everything suggested still to no avail. It is happening in both Word 2000 & XP. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, |

I'm unable to find it again, but yesterday I ran across a KB article listing
problems solved by an update to Office XP (I think), and that was one of them. -- Suzanne S.

Okay, I think I've found the article I was recalling, but it's unlikely to
apply to you. It's "Shaded tables do not print correctly in Word 2002" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836132 FWIW, make sure that you have actually shaded the cell and not the text or the paragraph. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Lisa,
There are a couple of cases where this happens. In some cases it's printer driver specific in others it's related to the printer driver but the problem is fixed on the Office/Word side. This is one of the hotfixes for the problem http://support.microsoft.com/default...us;836132&FR=1 There have been similar issues with HP printers. There can sometimes be issues where the table was created in one version of Word than worked with in another version. ====== "Lisa" wrote in message ... I will look for it.

Again thank you both. We as an org have already applied SP3 and still
nothing. If you can think of anything else please let me know. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Okay, I think I've found the article I was recalling, but it's unlikely to apply to you.

Hi Lisa,
The hotfix in the article is a 'post' SP3 update for Word 2002. You'll need to phone Microsoft to arrange to get the fix (no charge). ======== "Lisa" wrote in message ... Again thank you both.

The only time I've had problems with tabel fill not meeting the grid lines
is if the text is turned vertically within the cell. If you remove all spacing between the text and cell the shading will fill the cell to the gridlines. Unfortunatly, it removes the spacing from the entire table and all the text will be right next to the gridlines. I've just had to learn to not shade cells containing vertical text. |

In Office 2000 and above, you can change the cell margins for a single cell
without affecting the entire table. -- Suzanne S.
