Highlight Formatting Maintained When Creating New Row in Table

• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

You cannot delete the Highlight formatting that is carried over to an inserted row at the bottom of a table if those cells do not contain one or more characters.

This problem occurs when you apply Highlight formatting to one of the following:

• the first character in a cell in the last row of a table
• the entire cell in the last row of a table

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows 95 version 7.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

Method 1. Type one or more characters in the new cell, select it and

          then remove the highlight formatting.

          the cell that contains the Highlight formatting that you want
          to remove, and then do the following:

          a. On the Edit menu, click Replace.

          b. With the insertion point in the Find What box, click Format
             and point to Highlight. Notice the Format box below the
             Find What box indicates Highlight.

          c. With the insertion point in the Replace With box, click
             Format and point to Highlight. The Format box below the
             Replace With box indicates Highlight.

          d. Repeat step c. Notice that the Format box below the
             Replace With box displays Not Highlight.

             Note: When you select an existing format, such as
             Highlight, it changes to its opposite (Not Highlight).
             Selecting it again clears it.

          e. Click Replace.
