MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / June 2004background on heading
i'd like to create a heading where the text of the heading sits on a grey bar (ie shading pattern grey 20%) that extends across the entire row. i cant figure this out for the life of me. i can only get it to grey until the end of the word rather than across the page. thanks! Hi, Rob. Select the heading paragraph, then click on Format | Borders and Shading | Shading tab | <select the color you want>. > i'd like to create a heading where the text of the heading sits on a grey > bar (ie shading pattern grey 20%) that extends across the entire row. i > cant figure this out for the life of me. i can only get it to grey until > the end of the word rather than across the page. thanks! Garfield's method is probably best, but for some graphic purposes an alternative is to put a filled rectangle behind the text. Select Rectangle from the Draw toolbar, anchored to the header. > i'd like to create a heading where the text of the heading sits on a grey > bar (ie shading pattern grey 20%) that extends across the entire row. i > cant figure this out for the life of me. i can only get it to grey until > the end of the word rather than across the page. thanks! Make sure you apply the shading to the paragraph, not just the text. -- Suzanne S.
