Works 2000: Selected Table Cell Does Not Change Color (239140)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Works 2000
This article was previously published under Q239140

SYMPTOMS

When you create a table in a Microsoft Works 2000 Word Processor document and you format a cell with shading, the cell may no longer change color when you select the cell.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when both of the following are true:
  • In the Borders and Shading dialog box, under Shading, Fill Style is set to 50% (the sixth selection from the top).
  • Color 1 and Color 2 are set to opposite colors; for example, Color 1 is set to Black, and Color 2 is set to White; or Color 1 is set to Red, and Color 2 is set to Turquoise.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, change the Fill Style or color to anything else.

To change the shading of a table cell, follow these steps:
  1. Select the table cells you want to change.
  2. On the Format menu, click Borders and Shading.
  3. Change any setting under Shading, and then click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Works 2000.
