Word is not Excel and has comparatively limited table formatting
capabilities, but it *may* be possible to do something similar using vba.
See the bar chart example at http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm
Why not embed the Excel table in your document and take advantage of its
formatting capabilities?

Thanks for reminding me about embedding. formatting the table was an
afterthought after I pasted it from excel and I was hoping I didn't have to
return to the spreadsheet and do the formating there before repasting.
Again Thanks
