Reply To: Paragraph Shading with Tables

@Ron: Why not use the fill color of the table? And why is there an inset left and overset right? > If paragraph shading would be possible, the fills would not align perfectly.

@Masood: Sometimes things are not implemented, because no one have the idea to use a feature in that way or the engineers have no capacities for everything.

If I understand the feature correct, it is based on the fontsize of the paragraph. Since a table behave like a single character, but with no fontsize, it is not possible to measure the dimensions for the shading-feature.

Not helpful, but interesting: If you span your para, that hold the table, in two, insert a real character, then para shading is working.

So I vote either for table fills or a script, especially if the tables have different heights.
