Copy and paste shading?

[pearce]

I'm trying to shade a large table in word, each column with a particular
pattern of shading. Highlighting a section that I've shaded and copying and
pasting it doesn't work. Is there a way of repeating a shading pattern it or
does each cell need to be individually shaded?

Thank you!

After shading the first column, select the next column to which you want to
assign the same shading and then press F4 (that will repeat the last
action).

What about a shading pattern in cells A1-A7 that I then want to repeat in A8
onwards?
