Shading Tables Cells

[Paul Gauci]

Sometimes when I use the 'Borders and Shading ...'>Shading>Fill command the
cells or rows in question do not fill completely with the selected fill
colour, a white line appears parallel at the bottom (I do not recall whether
it also appears at the top) of the row, parallel and adjacent to the border.

I would like to know how to ensure that all the cells/rows are filled.

The "Apply to" field in Format > Borders and Shading > Shading tab must be
set to "Cell" in order for the shading to always fill out the selected
cell(s).

Could it be that "Apply to" has been set to e.g. "Paragraph" in the
situations where you have seen the white space? This will result in white
space above and/or below the text if you have applied space above and/or
below the text in Format > Paragraph. Also, if you have applied cell margins
(Table > Table Properties > Table tab > Options), you will see white space
along the sides with margins.
