How to fill total line with color?
Using Word 2002
THE SETUP: I have a short 4-word sentence and it's centered. WHAT I WANT: I want to highlight the whole row, from L-margin to R- margin, without having to create a table or a text box. PROBLEM: When I highlight it, the only area highlighted is the area containing characters. I need the highlight to literally begin at the L-margin and extend all the way to the R-margin. Can someone give me the directions of how to do it? I know it's possible because I'm looking at the exact thing in a document someone sent to me. I'm fairly good with tables and I know how to fill a row in a table by using Format / Borders and Shading / Shading, but I can see that their line is not a row in a table or a text box. Thanks, |

How to fill total line with color?
If the sentence is a separate paragraph, then you can apply shading to the
paragraph. Select the paragraph and go to Format | Borders and Shading | Shading. "Paragraph" should already be selected in the "Apply to" dropdown. -- Suzanne S.
