When shading cells in a table some cells have white streaks at the bottom, I
tried all tips from this forum, won't help.

Some details:
- The "Apply to" field in Format > Borders and Shading > Shading tab is set
to "Cell"
- No space applied above and/or below the text in Format > Paragraph.
- Top and Bottom cell margins (Table > Table Properties >
Table tab > Options) are set to 0.
- when selecting also cells without this problem it seems as if different
margins are used for all the cells as the bottom and top margin fields are
blank. But when I set them to 0 again, nothing changes and the streaks are
still there.

Can anyone provide additional tips and tricks?

Thanx

The only thing I can suggest is to proceed cell by cell looking at
properties. Often if you select an entire row to see whether paragraphs have
certain formatting, it won't be reported, but if you select only one cell,
you'll see something different in the Paragraph dialog. Same with cell
margins: you may have to set them for each cell individually (though it
should suffice to set them for the entire table and then just make sure that
"Same as the whole table" is checked in the Cell Options for each cell).
