Fill colors are "greyed" out. How do I turn on FILL colors?

When I make tables, I like to color cells. When the FILL button is pushed on
my WORD 2000, a "greyed" out pull down menu is displayed and no colors are
available. How can I turn FILL colors on again?

Depends which "Fill" button you're using. Although the Shading Color button
on the Tables and Borders toolbar uses the same paint bucket icon as the
Fill button on the Drawing toolbar, they are not the same thing at all. What
you have to use for tables is Format | Borders and Shading.
