Default Cannot shade a cell in a table

Hi Colleen,

I have a word document which has a table in it, some cells
are shaded. When I saved the original document with a new
name I cannot shade any of the cells correctly. The
shading appears at the very edge of the cells. I have
tested this on a blank document and the shading works as
normal ie. the whole cell is shaded.

It sounds as if the structure of the table may be damaged. If
you
- Select the table
- Table/Convert table to text
- immediately: Table/Convert text to table

Does this problem go away?
