White space around text in table cell
I want to fill cells in a table with color. Generally I can do this easily.
However, I have a table that must have something defined that I can't detect. When I try to fill the cell with color, the cell only fills around the edges, leaving the center portion white. The part that is colored is not the cell borders. I can fix this by re-establishing the text as "normal" and then making it the font/size I want. However, I'm curious about how this anomaly happened so I don't accidentally create this problem again. Does anyone know why this happened? |

White space around text in table cell
Your paragraph might have a different shading color than your table cells.
In a table cell, right click and select "Borders and Shading...". In the dialog, on the "Shading" tab, you can set a fill color. At the right you will see a drop down menu indicating to which the shading should be applied: table, cell, or paragraph. You can play around with it to see the effects.

White space around text in table cell
Thanks. I did try all those options, but to no effect. Still can't figure out
what caused it, although as I mentioned, I have done a work-around. If I could figure out how to do it I would send you the table so you can see what the problem is.
