I'm using Word 2003 in XP and have a Word document for a price list in which
the data is in a linked Excel spreadsheet.

For clarity, alternate rows in the Excel table have a fill colour (25%
gray). The problem is that this colouring is not visible in the Word
document, print preview or when output to PDF. Printing to a laser printer
is fine (using PCL5e and PS drivers), but not having it in visible in the
PDF is a problem.

Any ideas?
