Shading differs arround some text in table
I have a table in Word 2002 with wording moved from eleswhere.
I want the entire table shaded 10% and that is the seeting under tables boarders and shading. However some but not all of the text has a white bvackground behind the text only; there is still gray in the cell around the text. I want to get rid of the white but cant find how to do it. I have tried the individual cell settings: are they are still 10% grey. I cant find any setting to get rid of the white behind the text. If I cut the text a white space ramains in the cell. If I copy that text to an all grey cell the white behind the text travels with it. How do I remove the white please? Thanks. |

Thanks Pat. Easy when you know how and are not fixated on table properties!!
By the way I have lived in Hobart and return there next Jan from the USA, so you helped a fellow Aussie adoptee.
