why doesn't shading in table not fill all cells?

[last card lou]

some cells in the table are correctly filled in but others have a white area
at the bottom of the cell. how do I fix this?

You've accidentally applied the shading either to the text in the cell, or
to the paragraph, but not to the cell itself.

I had tried applying shading to the cell, but the problem still occurred. In
the end I was able to fix it by inserting new rows and shading them, then
transferring the wording from the incomletely shaded cells, then deleting
them.

Klaus,

I've tried your suggestion, and that is not any of the case. The shading is
applied to the cell itself, I've even tried the other 3 options in the list,
and they all come out the way they're supposed to except for the "cell"
option. No mean to disrespect, but either Word has a bug or no one has
figured this one out yet, because everybody who has come to this forum for
help, all get the same reply, but not the correct reply. And the only work
around so far, is to create a new row and move your data to the new row; no
REAL SOLUTION.

You could mail me a sample doc to (e-mail address removed)

If it's a bug, I have never seen it before. Maybe you have applied text or
paragraph shading on top of the cell shading?

Ok, I sent a sample table. In General, its an empty table, except to lable 2
of the cells: one with perfect shading and another with the partial shading.

Hi,

Thanks for the sample. Some of the cells in the row have top and bottom
padding of 0.13 cm (Table > Properties > Cell > Options... those which are
completely gray), some don't (those that show the white borders).

It doesn't look like a bug: Word does what it's told <g>

Perhaps apply a table style and do the formatting from scratch?

Klaus
