Shading gaps

[jc1148]

In MS Word I have a problem when adding shading to the day boxes in a
calendar every templent I have used and a variety of tables as well.

For examply: I try to color the holidays one color, birthdays another and so
no. However typically two day boxes at the first or end of the month have a
gap or white line at the bottom of the box, the shading is not 100% for say
Oct 1 & 3 or Oct 30 & 31.

Why does this gap appear? How do I get rid of the gap in the color
background?

Difficult to guess without seeing the document but normally I would guess
that this is a table cell and it is the cell margin that is not being
shaded. Are you sure that the shading has been applied to the cell and not
the text or paragraph? Also check that there isn't a blank paragraph at the
bottom of the cell.
