I have created a table in Word 2003 with several rows and columns. When I
put shading in any cell (I usually use 100%) I seem to end up with a very
thin white space at the bottom of the cell above the bottom line. I don't
recall seeing this problem before. I'm obviously doing something wrong.
Any idea what?

When you're in the Borders & Shading dialog, be sure to look at the
"Apply to" box. Make sure it's set to "Cell" (or "Table" to shade the
whole table) and not "Paragraph" or "Text".
