The Table Designer Shading tab seems to want to make all the rows the same color. Doug, To add to Rick's reply, FM does support the shading you want. The Shading tab of the Table designer allows you to set up two-color patterns for either body rows or columns, but not both. Since you are interested in row shading, in the rest of this message, I will describe row shading; column shading is analogous. FM divides the rows in the table into consecutive blocks. Each block contains the sum of the number of rows you specify as First and the number of rows you specify as Next. Depending on the number of rows, the table may end with a partial block. In your case, you should specify 1 for both First and Next so that each block has 2 rows. Then specify Green as the color for First rows. It doesn't matter what color is specified for Next rows as long as the Fill is set to None. Note that the field labels may seem a bit confusing since "First" does not refer only to the first rows in the table, but to the first rows in each block and "Next" refers to the remaining rows in each block. You could define more complicated problems such as 2 White rows followed by 6 Blue rows. For more complicated patterns, such as those using three or more colors, you will have to use Table > Custom Ruling & Shading. You can also specify a color for header and footer rows, but all rows in both header and footer will have the same color. --Lynne -- Lynne A. Price Text Structure Consulting, Inc.

Re: [Framers] Tables question
Open a blank, Portrait document and insert a Shaded Blue table. Click in the table and open the Table Designer. Go to the Shading tab and you will see how it is set up.
