I know you can |change the text color and border line types, but the docs say nothing |about shading the cells themselves. Any help? Please leave E-mail. If you're willing to write PostScript, I believe you could insert text into the cell and change it to PostScript style. I remember reading about some macros (for lack of a better word) that allowed to to figure the clippath of a cell, so I'd suspect that it would be fairly easy to fill a cell with shading of some sort, and then add some text, if you wish. Having used PostScript from Word in the past, let me warn you that it's not pretty, in that what you see on the screen can begin to look more like troff than WYSIWYG. If you have more specific questions, feel free to send me mail. -- Roger L. Long bytebug@dhw68k.cts.com
