banding in W 2007 tables
How do you add banding in W 2007 tables? Where do you specify the colors
desired? I am looking to have color applied to every other row, except the heading rows. Is this possible? I could not find any how-to instructions in online help. I would appreciate any help on this. |

I could not find any how-to instructions in online help. I would appreciate any help on this. After you insert a table, the Table Tools tab appears on the ribbon, with sub-tabs labeled Design and Layout. On the Design tab, all the way at the left is a group of options. Check the one that says Banded Rows. Then look at the gallery of Table Styles in the middle of the ribbon. (By clicking the arrows at the right side of the gallery you can scroll through it, or click the More button to see the full gallery.) As you hover the mouse over a style, the table will display a preview; when you see the one you like best, click it to apply that style. After applying a style, you can further tweak the settings, such as background color and border line weight and color. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

banding in W 2007 tables
Jay:
Thanks so much. I didn't "get" that I needed to choose banding at the Table Style Options group on the design tab, and then have to move to the Style Options group to select and activate it. Gosh it would be nice if online help covered this topic. Glad you could help. "Jay Freedman" wrote: cayce wrote: How do you add banding in W 2007 tables? Where do you specify the colors desired?

banding in W 2007 tables
Just to clarify one point: You can choose the style and the banding in
either order, and still get the same result. I just think it's nicer to turn on the banding first, so the mouseover preview shows an accurate impression of what you'll get. cayce wrote: Jay: Thanks so much.
