MS Office Forum / Word / Tables / January 2008Shading in Table behaves strange
Hi All, I have a table (XP, Word 2003) and I want to shade the cells in the top row gray. Although 3 of the five cells are completely gray two of them have a little bit of white space in the buttom. Also, I noticed that when I highlight the text in the top row there is white space above the highlighted tex as if there was cell padding turned on. The same seems to be on the left side of the hightlighted text, but on the right side the highlight goes flush to the cell wall. There are no margins set for the cells and I have made sure that when I hightlighted the two problem cells and went to Borders and Shading that I choose to shade the CELL. It is driving me nuts. Thank you all.

The link you sent me has incredible information. I resolved the problem by applying a bottom margin of .1" to the cells in that row (when I set it to 0" it would still show the white space). After I applied it there was no more white space.. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All the best > Maybe you will find more things to check here: > http://thedoctools.com/index.php?show=wt_cell_shading [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > Thank you all. Thank you for the feedback. I am glad your problem is solved. I created the article one day I decided to find out how many different settings I could find that resulted in white space in table cells – and as you have seen, there are several combinations of which some are quite tricky. There may be even more combinations that I did not find.
