For me, using Word 2007, the shading tab does not show the current color.
The conditions are
1) it is a custom color
2) close word and reopen the file.

I have added cell shading to a table cell in word. Now I would like to

The "Shading" tool does not display the current shading of the cell.
When the cell was first shaded, the color was then displayed in the
"recently used colors" list. But since closing word and reopening, this list
is blank.
How can I determine what the cell shading is, or copy the shading to another
cell?
If you selectt he cell, and then do Format Borders and Shading...
Shading tab, Word will tell you the shade being used in the current cell.
Just make sure to select cell(s) that all have the exact same colour.
To copy quickly from one cell to another, I believe you need a macro for
that. Do you want to go that way or just do it manually?
