You cannot change the background color of a cell after you use AutoFormat to format the table in FrontPage 2003 (822262)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
SYMPTOMSIn FrontPage 2003 after you use AutoFormat to format a table, when you try to change the background color of a single cell by adding a bgcolor attribute to a <td> tag, the background color of the cell does not change.CAUSEThis issue occurs because table AutoFormatting uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control cell color. For more information about CSS, see the Microsoft FrontPage Help topic: About styles.RESOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, customize table background colors by modifying the properties of the table. For more information, see the Microsoft FrontPage Help topic: Set the background properties of a table.
Note You can also directly edit the HTML code that controls the background color by modifying the table's style attribute. For more information, see the Microsoft FrontPage Help topic: Change properties for an individual HTML tag.
To customize the background colors of a data view, use conditional formatting. For more information, see the Microsoft FrontPage Help topic: Add or remove conditional formatting for a Data View.
