Word - cannot shade text - difficult formatting in the backgroud
Hello!
I have an issue with the shading option in Word - parts of the text are formatted with white background and shading cannot be applied on the whole text. It seems there is no quick and feasible fix for this - format painter just erases the formatting and I do not want this to happen and changing the background from Borders and Shading option is taking too much time and then it is difficult to remove the shading. Did you encounter such issues before and did you discover any quick fix to this? I've attached an example Thank you! rox |

If you select the whole document via Ctrl-A, or at least all the contiguous ranges you want to update, you can apply the shading change to everything in one go, via Home|Paragraph>Borders and Shading>Shading>Fill (choose a shade) & Apply to:Text.

Thanks Paul! The issue here is that I have documents which are sometimes 30 pages long and I have to shade a few paragraphs here and there - so select all is not an option

In that case, you could select a range then run the following macro via a suitable shortcut key combination:
Code:
Sub ResetShading() With Selection.Font.Shading .Texture = wdTextureNone .ForegroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic .BackgroundPatternColor = -721354906 End With End Sub For Mac macro installation & usage instructions, see: https://wordmvp.com/Mac/InstallMacro.html
