It sounds like there are more than one line in the cell and you are selecting
text in the cell before you apply the shading. Try just clicking in the cell,
then use the Shading button on the Tables & Borders Toolbar to apply the
color you want.

I am trying to shade a cell in a table. The shading surrounds the column
title but not the rest of the cell when I print the page. How do I get the
entire cell to be highlighted?
