This sounds like some kind of a display driver issue.
As an intermediate step, I would try starting Word in safe mode (hold Ctrl
as Word is starting, then click Yes to starting in safe mode).
If the problem still occurs when starting Word in safe mode, try updating
your printer and display drivers (or, at the very least, try a different
display resolution to see if the problem continues).
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, then I'd begin to suspect some
kind of registry corruption, template corruption, or a misbehaving add-in.
The steps he

....need to be adjusted for Word 2007 (i.e., office 12), but the same basic
principles apply.

Hi and thanks for the response
What you describe as blue shading sounds correct, but when I continue to
type the blue shadings stay. If I hit enter or click in the table cell
the
blue gets a bit darker for each click of enter and after about five clicks
it
is solid blue.
I am on default settings, using Times New Roman, black text, I have tried
different fonts and different font colors. One cell or many, show all
characters on or off, it all stays the same.
I wonder if it is some type of auto correct or auto select setting but I
can't find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I
select a table cell, it is shaded in blue, but the moment I start to
type,
the selection shading disappears. And unless I change the text color to
something very light, the shading doesn't obscure the text.
I have a feeling that I'm missing something you're doing. If you can
describe the formatting you're using and the steps you're following,
maybe I
can reproduce the effect you're seeing.

How do I prevent blue shading of a table cell while typing or clicking
in
the
cell. The shading becomes too dark to see the text.
I am a teacher and use table cells to create test questions, this has
works
fine in previous versions of Word but not in 2007
Thank you
