I am trying to insert shading into cells in a calendar table and for the most
part it's working fine. However, the shading in some of the cells does not
extend to the entire cell. In some of the cells, mostly the ones at the
bottom of the table, the shading stops just shy of the entire cell and
there's a white line at the bottom of the cell where the shading won't reach.
How do I format the cell so that the shading fills the entire cell?

Things you can check:
The "Apply to" field in Format Borders and Shading Shading tab must be
set to "Cell" in order for the shading to always fill out the selected
cell(s). If the shading has been applied to "Paragraph", white space will
appear if you have applied space before/space after via Format Paragraph
Indents and Spacing tab.

If this is not the problem, check whether you have _different_ bottom cell
margins applied to the cells in the row(s) with the problem (Table Table
Properties Cell tab Options). This seems to result in white space at the
bottom of cells even it you apply the shading to the cells (i.e. only the
cell(s) with the largest bottom margin will be totally filled).
