text cut off in shaded table cells
What the heck is going on? I've made a table, with the first 2 rows shaded
at 15%. It looks fine on the monitor, but when printed, the text IN THE SHADED CELLS ONLY (!) is cut-off on left & right edges of cells. None of the type is cut off in the unshaded cells. What the heck??? |

text cut off in shaded table cells
Let me guess. Perhaps you applied shading but inadvertently applied it to
the text instead of the cell itself, so it didn't extend to the cell borders. So you either reduced the cell margins to 0 or dragged the paragraph indents (making them negative). Does any of this sound possible? -- Suzanne S.

text cut off in shaded table cells
Well, I actually figured out the problem on my own yesterday. No, I didn't
apply the shading to the text only, but to the cell. The margins for cells were set wrong, so I corrected it in Formats---Paragraph---Indents/Spacing. I now have the margins set at Left alignment, with 0 as the indent. I printed one sample, & it looked good. I just don't understand why it looks right on the monitor, but prints funky. "Suzanne S.
