Automatic coloring of table cells
I gather that you are referring to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in Word
2007? It can also be moved below the ribbon (which is handy when you've added a lot more buttons). By default it has buttons for Save, Undo (with a dropdown), and Redo according to the reference at http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...HA100744321033, but a printout I have of the UI also shows a button for FilePrintDefault. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "JT" wrote in message ... Koja and whisper, can you check your toolbar in word and tell me how many items are in there? (It's the customizeable bar that sites above or below the large bar, and has the one click shortcut for save, and undo, and things like that?) By default it has 3 or 4. JT |

Automatic coloring of table cells
Hi JT,
No, I have not tried re-installing Word... I will try 1st) re-installing just Word; then 2nd) Reinstalling the entire Office Package. I was also thinking today (dangerous, I know) that I purchased "Office Pro Plus Win32" through the Univ. of Phoenix as a student package. Do you think there is any tie there? Thanks again... Koja "JT" wrote: I'm trying to play with the settings on my clients PC remotly, so far, to no avail. Koja, have you tried removing work from office only while leaving the other programs in. Then rebooting and reinstalling word again? I will have to wait to try this on monday when i'll be on site. I'm hoping some setting will or glitch will be reset. Other clients in the office do not seem to exibit the same behavior, even ones with a similar setup....still trying to figure out how to fix this.... JT |

Automatic coloring of table cells
Hi JT,
Mine is know full, I have been banging my head against to wall and using the program for work and college classes. If it was not for the extra features and my hard head, I would almost go back to 2003! Anyway, because I am trying different things, I currently have loads of items on the "tool bar" or ribbon as I guess it is now called.

Automatic coloring of table cells
Hi Suzanne,
I started out with just a few, but I could not leave it alone and have added everything that I am used to to the Quick Access toolbar and have placed it above and below the ribbon.... thank you.

Suzanne, Thanks, yeah, that was the name I was looking for! Quick Access
Toolbar (QAT) Koja and Whisper, Can you tell me how many buttons you have in the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)? How many have you added etc..? Koja, let me know before you ty to reinstalling office. reinstalling word did nothing for me, so don't bother. and no, I don't think the version has anything to do with it. I may have an answer, but let me know regarding the question above. JT |

Automatic coloring of table cells
Hi Whisper,
I cannot figure it out... It seems that the problem is widespread, but it does not affect all installations. I have installed all updates and do so automatically; I run current anti-Virus & Spyware software. I have a coworker that runs XP, Office 2007, and Macafee (anti-Virus software), but does not have the issue. Out of curiosity, what virus software are you running.... I am running Norton and Webroot, but am thinking of dropping Webroot as the subscription has expired; oh, I also run MS Defender. Note: The problem seems to be table specific and does not show up in Excel, etc. I want to try shutting all of that down, and trying Word and see in that has anything to do with it; I doubt it, but one never knows when/where the conflicts can strike. I'll keep the thread posted... Koja "Whisper" wrote: I am having the exact same problem. Have tried formatting, etc. and it just keeps getting darker. It's VERY frustrating as I work in tables frequently. Any help will be appreciated. "Koja" wrote: Please help; whenever I select and/or type into a Word 2007 Table Cell, the entire cell is colored dark blue and I cannot see the cursor or text. This is an incredible annoyance; I cannot find a way to turn the feature/annoyance off. This makes working with tables almost impossible and I use them daily; can someone please help me? Thank you in advance... Koja |

Sorry if you already answered that Koja, I think I was looking at an old
reply. -OK, click on the little pull down menu for the Quick Access Toolbar -choose more commands -on the right under your toolbar window, click the reset button (this will undo all of your cutomization, sorry) -click ok. -make sure the Quick Access Toolbar has only the 3 (I think its 3) default icons -exit word, reopen word -create a new table as a test, and try to get it to darken the cells again. Let me know what happens! JT |

Automatic coloring of table cells
I don't have Word 2007 installed yet, but every time I use one of my custom
buttons in Word 2003, I think about how much I'll have to add to the QAT. The power users have different QATs in different templates, and eventually maybe I'll figure that out as well. -- Suzanne S.

Automatic coloring of table cells
JT, that worked !!! I did a print screen of my customized access bar so I
could quickly add them back in. Thank you so much, that was extremely frustrating. But how interesting that the customized bar would have such an influence. Go figure. I've re-customized the bar and tables still seem to work OK.
