I'd be inclined to blame the printer on this one.

I have tables saved in MS Word 2002 that look fine but when I print them
the
shading within the cells does not line up. And now when I create a new
table even though it looks correct on the screen it prints slightly off.
Any
ideas on what has changed and how to correct this?
