    Okay I know how to Add color to a page (go to Modify) then page properties...
    But what happens when I want the table to be a different color?

    I have the following site http://www.subliminal-hypnosis.com

    On the Left hand side of the main page there is a White stripe which goes down way way too far. How do I delete and or change this white to be Yellow?

    Any help is MUCH appreciated!!
    :)
    Thanks

    Select the table. Then from the properties toolbar just click the little background option and pick your colour .

    By properties tool bar do you mean the Ctrl J for "page properties"?

    I highlighted the table and left clicked my mouse for the properties button but nothing happened.

    Is there a shorthand keybutton command like Ctr T, Shift Alt M something like that?

    Thanks

    Davey if you are not seeing the properties toolbar pinned to the DW window, you might find it easier if you set it up to do so. Go to Window and at the top you can select Properties. Then you´ll get the props toolbar and be able to set table or cell colour easily.

    Davey, check the attached file. It's cleared now.
    I've made the long table without any colour and the small table with the navigation white. This should do the trick.

    Download the file and open it in DW compare it to yours and you'll see what I did. Good luck with your site.

    Hey DA, why are you a peon? Shouldn´t you be a Master of the Pomegranate or whatever by now with that many posts?
