Shading Tables Cells
Do you have different bottom cell margins applied to the cells? This seems to
result in white space at the bottom of cells even it you apply the shading to the cells. For example, if one cell in a row has 1mm bottom cell margin whereas the other cells have no bottom cell margin, those cells will have 1mm white space at the bottom (i.e. only the cell(s) with the largest bottom margin will be totally filled - other cells will have a white space corresponding to the difference between the bottom cell margins). For some reason, the same does not seem to apply if you have different top cell margins (at least I saw no white space in the top of cells when testing in Word 2002 and 2003). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Paul Gauci" wrote: Thanks Lene The 'Apply to' field was set to Cell - that is my problem.

Could it be that "Apply to" has been set to e.g. "Paragraph" in the situations where you have seen the white space? This will result in white space above and/or below the text if you have applied space above and/or below the text in Format Paragraph. Also, if you have applied cell margins (Table Table Properties Table tab Options), you will see white space along the sides with margins. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Paul Gauci" wrote: Sometimes when I use the 'Borders and Shading ...'ShadingFill command the cells or rows in question do not fill completely with the selected fill colour, a white line appears parallel at the bottom (I do not recall whether it also appears at the top) of the row, parallel and adjacent to the border. I would like to know how to ensure that all the cells/rows are filled. -- Paul Gauci |
