Hi Eric!!

Thank you very much, quite generous with your time. Is it allowed to 
request paid help (on an hourly basis) in this google group? It's going to 
take too much time for me to iron out the last details and I would rather 
work with and pay someone that knows what they are doing (TW + CSS) to get 
me the file to be as I want it to be. For example, when I tried your 
example, it only colored the background of the text in the cell, the the 
whole cell, etc.

Should I just go ahead and request paid help..? I can't imagine this is 
going to be more than a few hours (total) if someone knows what they are 
doing.

Patrick
