removing shading in tables
In Word 2003, I downloaded the template Sales Receipt (Blue Gradient). I
want to remove the blue gradient from the 1st table. Is this possible? I've tried everything I can think of and all the suggestions for removing shading from tables, backgrounds, text, cells, etc. Any suggestions? |

removing shading in tables
It's a picture - and not the easiest to pin down!
Hover your mouse just to the right of the left border of the second (right hand) cell in the top row - and when it changes to an arrow-headed cross hair, click it to select the picture - then delete or whatever you want to do. -- Enjoy, Tony "tatiana_varena" wrote in message ...

removing shading in tables
typically, removing shading involves simply highlighting the area shaded (you
can use the white arrow as described by Tony, or drag over the shaded text); accessing the shading and borders window from the format menu or from the shortcut (rightclick) menu"; selecting the shading tab; and, finally, setting the shade to white (or no shade) and clicking OK. However, it might be that the template picture is a mask--an area that has been protected as if transparent masking tape was applied over it. To check whether the gradient area has been masked, select/highlight it with the mouse pointer. If a checkerboard-like array of diamond patterns (or any other unusual-looking pattern) appears over the highlighted area, or any portion of that area, then the pattern covered area has had a mask applied to it. This because the creator did not intend that the graphical appearance be changed. Some photo editing programs have capabilities for removing masks; you might try loading the template image into such a photo processing application. For more info on masks visit http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/abo...l/aamasks1.htm or search for info in Windows or the Web using search word "mask." Hope this helps.

Tatania, here's something else I didn't see so far. Assuming you selected the
blue area and opened Borders & Shading (Shading tab)--when you "tried everything"--and selecting White (no shading) didn't--did you then also check that Clear was selected in the Style portion of the Shading dialog? Or change to that setting using the option list (spinner) if it wasn't? "tatiana_varena" wrote: In Word 2003, I downloaded the template Sales Receipt (Blue Gradient).
