Is there a way to add a patterned shade (fill) (like diagonal strips or checker board etc.) within a table in Word 2010?

If not - I guess the only way is to insert a shape and auto fit it to the cell size... Is there a way to auto fit the shape to a cell size permanently?

Thanks!

  • Auto-sizing images with cells will only work if your table cells have constant aspect ratio, otherwise e.g. a checkered or diagionally striped pattern will look ugly when stretched unisometrically.

Select cell to shade -> right click: Table Properties -> Borders & Shading -> Shading tab -> under Patterns -> select Style.

You can select the two colors of the binary patterns offered. Make sure you only apply your style of choice to a cell and not the entire table (Apply to drop down menu).
