Automatic coloring of table cells
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 |

Automatic coloring of table cells
Is this a display issue only or do tables print with the dark blue color?

Automatic coloring of table cells
I have a client with the same issue also. clicking to select words or to
place the cursor between letters as well as jus click within the plain area of a table will hightlight the whole cell, or whole table a dark blue. The more you click it, the darker it gets, to a point where it just stays. Clicking does not clear it regularly. It seems to clear randomly. It also happen when typing, then hitting enter. Its very odd, i've not seen this before We just installed office 07 for this user. Any help on this would be great! Justin |

Did you check the display settings in Control Panel?

Yes. It's nothing so simplistim. I'm a network engineer so i've dealt with
lots of desktop issues, but this is something I haven't seen before. This only appears to happen with office 07. I'll have to check some of the other user to see if I can discern a pattern.... Koja, was this a fresh install of office 2007 or did you upgrade to 2007 with a previous version already installed? |

Automatic coloring of table cells
Hi Stefan,
Thank you for responding; in response to your question: It is just a disply problem... the color does not print. You can color the cell, but the dark blue also finally engulfes that as well and then you cannot read the type. I finally bought the book, "Using Word 2007 Special Edition" and tried everything I could find in resetting and troubleshooting, but still no change. It seems to be the same problem that JT has also asked about; however, I can click on another cell and run the page up and down and the blue will go away until a cell is clicked on again and then all goes dark blue!!

Hi JT,
Yes, not only was it a fresh install, but I also uninstalled Office 2003 before installing Office 2007. I have also tried saving the file as a 2003, but this does not seem to clear up the problem. I have tried opening tables saved previously in 2003 and they also exhibit the problem. I cannot find the cause either and am hoping to find answers here...... "JT" wrote: Yes.

Automatic coloring of table cells
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 |

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 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 |
