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?


In the Format Borders & Shading dialog, pay attention to the value in the
Apply To dropdown. When you're working on text in a table cell, that list
includes Text, Paragraph, Cell, and Table. It defaults to whatever was
selected when you opened the dialog, but you can change it before you click
OK. The value you want is Cell.
