Hi Graham

Thanks for spending the time on this, it has really helped me to understand how the macros work in Word.

I stepped through the macro to see how it worked and followed the logic - a real eye opener.

However, although the cell has been coloured, the text still has a white background, whereas all the other text in the document uses the grey cell colour as a background - can you see that?

What code can I add to fix that please?

Thanks

Colin
