Hi Sue, The table was probably imported into FrameMaker from Word and so the alternating shading are considered overrides to the default table shading. Here is how to fix it:
1) Select the entire table. 2) Choose Table > Custom Ruling and Shading 3) Uncheck the Custom Cell Ruling checkbox and check the Custom Cell Shading checkbox. 4) Choose From Table under both Fill and Color popup menus. 5) Click the Apply button. This will remove the overrides from the table. Now you can set the alternating shading in the Table Designer and it should work as you add and delete rows. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

I do not have the full Acrobat 5.0 program, on this system. But, I could take the FMKR file to my own pc and use Acrobat 5.0 and then bring it back to this laptop. Question: I have a large (17pgs) table for my glossary. The rows are alternating colors - light and medium shade of the same color. However, the header top row and the left column - are a solid color. Now, we are adding and deleting some of these glossary entries. Is there a way to have the alternate row colors update automatically? I have already gone into the Table Designer and I am working with the shade settings, but not much luck yet. I inherited this table - I think the alternate coloring was done with copy / paste. Thanks, Sue _______________________________________________
