MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / November 2007Changing Background Color Only
I have a table in the middle of my sheet. The background is just the normal white cells. I want to change the entire background to a solid color, but I just can't get it to work. Here is what I tried. I highlighted my table, held down the ctrl key, then highlighted the entire page, and then filled in the color...but this doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks If you want just the table to be coloured, then highlight the cells making up the table and click on the fill colour icon from the formatting toolbar (if visible - if not then Format | Cells | Patterns) and then click the colour you want. Hope this helps. Pete > I have a table in the middle of my sheet. The background is just the > normal white cells.

Then highlight just the cells that make up your table, click the fill icon and choose No Fill (or another colour). Hope this helps. Pete > No, the table is the color I want it.
