Default Cell shading in Tables

I have a table that I am trying to add some shading to certain cells and some
are fine, but others have 1/8 inch unshaded area at the bottom of the cell.
Why?

Thanks,

In the Format Borders and Shading dialog, pay special attention to the
Apply To box in the bottom right corner. It should say "Table" or "Cell" and
not "Paragraph".

I'm having the same problem. I checked the "apply to" setting and it is set
for "Cell" and not "Paragraph". Any other ideas? Thanks!

Hmm... Does the last paragraph in the cell have a different shading
than the cell, and/or a nonzero Space After setting in the Format
Paragraph dialog?

Try selecting the cell contents and going through the Shading dialog
three times, setting each of Paragraph, Cell, and Table to "No Fill".
Then apply just the cell background.
