Summary: The PostscriptShade macro shades the entire column when you use a header or footer with three or more lines. However, when you use the PostscriptShade macro from the EXAMPLE.DOC file, you will have a problem when you try to shade a single cell in a table with a header or footer with three lines or more of text or field codes. Instead of shading the cell of the table, Word will shade the entire column of the table. This behavior also occurs if you type the field into the cell that you want shaded. An example of this field is as follows: {print cell “wp$box 0.7 setgray fill”} Note that this field will work correctly if the header and footer have two lines or less.
