Shaded tables do not print correctly in Word 2002

When you print a table that contains color or shading, you find that the printed copy is not colored or shaded correctly. For example, only some of the cells in the table are colored or are shaded.

This problem may occur with certain printers if you use a custom paper size. For example, this problem is known to occur with the following printers:

• Xerox Document Centre 340
• Xerox Document Centre 400
• Cannon LBP-730 LIPS4

To work around this problem, reset the custom paper size setting to use a standard paper size. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
2. Click the Paper tab. In the Paper size box, select a standard paper size.
