Automatic coloring of table cells

Hi JT,
No, I have not tried re-installing Word... I will try 1st) re-installing
just Word; then 2nd) Reinstalling the entire Office Package.

I was also thinking today (dangerous, I know) that I purchased "Office Pro
Plus Win32" through the Univ. of Phoenix as a student package. Do you think
there is any tie there?

Thanks again...

Hi JT,
Mine is know full, I have been banging my head against to wall and using the
program for work and college classes. If it was not for the extra features
and my hard head, I would almost go back to 2003!

Anyway, because I am trying different things, I currently have loads of
items on the "tool bar" or ribbon as I guess it is now called.

Hi Whisper,
I cannot figure it out... It seems that the problem is widespread, but it
does not affect all installations. I have installed all updates and do so
automatically; I run current anti-Virus & Spyware software. I have a coworker
that runs XP, Office 2007, and Macafee (anti-Virus software), but does not
have the issue. Out of curiosity, what virus software are you running.... I
am running Norton and Webroot, but am thinking of dropping Webroot as the
subscription has expired; oh, I also run MS Defender. Note: The problem seems
to be table specific and does not show up in Excel, etc.

I want to try shutting all of that down, and trying Word and see in that has
anything to do with it; I doubt it, but one never knows when/where the
conflicts can strike. I'll keep the thread posted...

Sorry if you already answered that Koja, I think I was looking at an old
reply.

-OK, click on the little pull down menu for the Quick Access Toolbar
-choose more commands
-on the right under your toolbar window, click the reset button (this will
undo all of your cutomization, sorry)
-click ok.
-make sure the Quick Access Toolbar has only the 3 (I think its 3) default
icons
-exit word, reopen word
-create a new table as a test, and try to get it to darken the cells again.

Let me know what happens!

I gather that you are referring to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in Word
2007? It can also be moved below the ribbon (which is handy when you've
added a lot more buttons).

By default it has buttons for Save, Undo (with a dropdown), and Redo
according to the reference at
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/asstvid.aspx?assetid=XT10076633...3&vwidt
but a printout I have of the UI also shows a button for FilePrintDefault.

Hi Suzanne,
I started out with just a few, but I could not leave it alone and have added
everything that I am used to to the Quick Access toolbar and have placed it
above and below the ribbon.... thank you.
