The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Previous versions of WordPerfect allowed you to shade table cells, columns, and rows using shades of gray. Using WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS, you can create your own shading styles, which are called fill styles in WP 6.0. You can use different colors for the foreground and background. Several different patterns are also available.

How Do You Use It?
For this example, create a small table, then create your own fill style for one of the rows.

1.      Choose Tables from the Layout menu, or press Columns/Tables (Alt+F7) then choose Tables (2).

2.      Choose Create (1).

3.      Type 3 for the number of columns, then press Enter. Type 3 for the number of rows, then press Enter.

4.      Choose OK to go to the Table Edit screen.

Create the new fill style for the middle column. You can only change the fill style for the current cell or block, so to shade a row or column, you need to block all the cells you want to shade.

5.      Move your cursor to cell Bl .

6.      Press Block (Alt+F4, or F12 on an expanded keyboard). Press Down Arrow until the entire second column is highlighted.

7.      Choose Lines/Fill (6), then choose Fill (F).

8.      Choose Fill Style (1), then choose Create (2).

9.      Type a name for the new fill style, then press Enter.

The Create Fill Style dialog box appears. You are free to make any changes you want to create your own style.

When you have finished creating your new fill style.

10.      Choose OK to return to the Fill Styles dialog box.

11.      Make sure that your new style is highlighted, then choose Select (1).

12.      Choose OK, then choose Close to return to the Table Edit screen.

13.      Press Exit (F7) to return to the document editing screen

You can view the shading of your table using Print Preview.

1.      Choose Print/Fax from the File menu or press Print/Fax (Shift+F7).

2.      Choose Print Preview (7).
