How To Add Shading In Word



I have existing tables in Word documents to which I would like to apply alternate row shading that updates automatically as rows are added or removed. I would like to add the alternate row shading without changing the existing table formatting (borders, font, etc.). I know how to apply a predefined style or create and apply a new, custom style. Shading includes fill colors and patterns that you can apply to table cells. Select the cell or cells you want to add shading to. Click the Shading list arrow in the Table Tools Design tab. The shading menu will show a spectrum of colors from the current document theme as well as a few standard colors.
