Adding Color to a Table
Tables are transparent by default, showing the background color or pattern of the Web page as the background of the table. If this is not the best design choice, consider adding a different color as the background. You can change the color table elements quickly using the Fill Color button on the Tables toolbar. If you want to change several color options at once, you can use the Table Properties dialog box. You can also add color to cells and borders. A cell border can contain one or two colors (the second color adds depth, or a 3-D type), and each individual cell within a table can have its own one or two-colored border.
