SYMPTOMS
When you convert a Word document that contains a table that includes white text on a color background, the background color (BGCOLOR) is converted to white. As a result, your table contains white text on a white background. This problem occurs when you use the Table AutoFormat command to format your table or when you use the Table Wizard.

CAUSE
By design, the AutoFormat command and the Table Wizard apply a white background color with a dark foreground color to the table. The HTML converter does not interpret the foreground color; it only converts the background color. As a result, you get white text on a white background.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:

Method 1. After you convert the document, reapply a background to the table or change the color of the text.

Method 2. Before you convert the document, remove, and then reapply, the shading and font color. Instead of using the Table AutoFormat command, apply the shading using the Borders And Shading command on the Format menu, and apply the font color using the Font command on the Format menu.
