Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / May 2008Table Cells Fill Colour
Is microsoft aware of the following problem or is it just me? In powerpoint 2008 for Mac, when you insert a table and select cells within that table, the drop down menu in the toolbox from Borders and Shading includes a shading option. When i try to shade the desired cells using this icon, and the icon in the Tables and Borders Toolbar, it changes the font colour but leaves the cell in its original colour. The only way i can shade the desired cells is to go into the Format table... option when i two finger click on the cells (MacBook) am also experiencing the same issue. Yeah, I'm afraid this is a known bug. MS is aware but as yet there is no fix... Perhaps in an upcoming update:-) In the meantime you've found the best workaround - use the Format Table dialog.

Make the table in Word, format it there, then copy and paste it into PowerPoint. -Jim Quoting from "CyberTaz" <onlygeneraltaz1@com.cast.net>, in article C3C0C945.313A1%onlygeneraltaz1@com.cast.net, on [DATE: > Yeah, I'm afraid this is a known bug.
