I have Word 2000
I have done everything to rectify this problem short of
sprinkling holy water on my hard drive { I have worked
with Word for 13 years so I have a little experience]
This is the problem
I am making drug reference cards that have 2 columns and
multiple rows
I am attempting to use a color shade for alternate rows
This shading should span both columns on the row selected
The shading stops short of the center, vertical column
divider leaving a large white vertical gap!!!
I have opened new documents and pasted the table [ with
several hundred drug names ]
I have looked at table properties and changed distance
from text measurements to '0"
I have made sure I am selecting 'cell' in shading option
[ altho I have experimented with every other option ad
infinitum]
I have changed styles, scrutinized document templates,
looked at paragraph formatting, changed fonts and
stripped the original tables down to plain text,
laboriously and manually reconstructed tables and
reinserted the text. All with the same printed results as
outlined above.On screen the rows look fine.
Strangely I can create a table at the end of another
document which has the alternate colored row format and
it works fine. If I paste any of the already created drug
tables into it tho it acts as above with the strange
white area. Please Help. I am ready to rip my hair out.
Thank You very Much
