Word 2007 table cell color selection
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 Dick De Vries |

Word 2007 table cell color selection
I'm not seeing blue shading of table cells when I type in a table cell. 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. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Dick De Vries" Dick De wrote in message ...

Word 2007 table cell color selection
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.

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 http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm ....need to be adjusted for Word 2007 (i.e., office 12), but the same basic principles apply. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Dick De Vries" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 table cell color selection
Hi
Your comment on the display driver got me thinking. I installed the same '07 version of Word on my Laptop. The problem was not there on the Laptop. I have a dual booting computer with XP on one drive and Vista on another drive. The problem is not there on the XP drive. That should rule out the hard ware as both the XP and the Vista system run on the same hardware. I could do a re-install on the Vista drive. If it is a setting in Word that should set it back to the default settings I have on the Laptop and the XP version.

Word 2007 table cell color selection
Display drivers have been a real sore point with Vista. So, rather than
reinstalling Vista, I would instead look to see if there is an updated display driver that is Vista-compatible (e.g., if you're using an nVidia-based display adapter, check nVidia's web site, etc.) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Dick De Vries" wrote in message news  Hi Your comment on the display driver got me thinking.

Hi Dick,
I had a similar problem and it was resolved by creating a new windows user account. Hope that helps.
