The screenshot of your field code shows shading, not highlighting.

Actually, hold that thought please Paul - I think that is why you were padding out the field with Tabs and soft returns ... Correct?

Hi Paul,

I've read every thread on this I can find - have you done a youtube tutorial on it? I generally find them easier to follow as I'm very new to this.

I have tried to attach a screenshot of what I've done here - it highlights the text, but I need the cell shaded.

I don't understand how/what to do with the tab/enter commands to create the shading or exactly what keys to use. If I try copy/pasting your tab/enter symbols, they just display in the highlighted output. If I try to actually press the tab key, it just selects the next table cell.
